Q: Hi,
I'm looking for income and hopefully a little growth as well. I currently own GRT/UN.TO, CAR/UN.TO and have some of DRG/UN.TO from before the buyout. Would you be able to rate these choices in order of preference? What % weight would you recommend for this sector at the moment, and do you foresee that weighting being changed as we head into Q1 next year? These will be held in a cash account, so should I be considering the potential tax implications? Deduct as many credits as you need. Thanks for all your hard work,
Dawn

Q: The new equity issue by CAR.UN was priced almost $2 below recent trading range - and the market opened the next day with an immediate drop to match. CRT.UN did a similar move a month or so ago - with a corresponding immediate price drop. This appears to be a common industry practice - but that alone does not make it ethically right. I have been burned many times by this. Why are new equity issues not priced more in line with current trading range (e.g. to match closing price on the prior trading day)? Isn't it the duty of the regulator to block transactions that are priced to influence (i.e. manipulate) the market?

Q: Would you be able to rate the above in order of preference based on overall appreciation/performance over next 2-3yrs - also confirm whether you would be a buyer of any or all of them at this point in time and finally what exposure does each have to the Alberta economy.

Q: I currently own small positions in CRT & CHP which seem to be lying fairly dormant. To get a bit more momentum, I am considering switching these to REI . Is this a good strategy. My thinking is that mall owners may be switching to condo development as online shopping increases.

Many thanks, as always.

Q: My question is on diversification for my kids. With smaller amounts of money I find it a struggle. My daughters are 4 and 6. In one RESP there is 155 shares of DR. In the other RESP there is 155 shares of CRT.UN I also have a TFSA account where I keep there money from birthdays Christmas etc. There they have 543 shares of DIV and 90 shares of KWH.UN Cash for them is starting to add up again for them. Thinking very long term do I add a new position for them or sell all and start fresh? What do you recommend?

Thanks Jimmy

Q: Do you think REIT's should be owned in ones portfolio? Does a 10% weighting seem to much? Also can you rate the following from best to worst as I am looking to get rid of one. GRT, REI and CRT.
Thanks
