Q: Peter; I own both and so watch them closely. It seems that they are basically trading in lock step re volume and price appreciation.Are there any interlocking directors and/or management connections that you know of. Would a combined entity be a possibility? Thanks. Rod

Q: Hi Peter and Staff
My question is about industrial REITS- I have been slow to replace Pure Industrial - most of your recommendations have been Dir.un.
I bought that last week after you had given a slight preference to Summitt over it - yesterday you were asked to recommend one and you picked WPT - what’s up?

Thanks for all you do

Q: Could you give me your take on its latest acquisition. It is partially funding this through new stock issuance, and the market has reacted to that. What I would like to know is whether this is a better reit at this price than it was yesterday before the deal at its previous price.

Thanks

Q: I have some money to deploy, and would like to concentrate on dividend paying stocks above. Do you think at the current price points I can buy in or would it be wise to wait for any to come down a bit? I am looking to create some dividend income.
Thanks

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: In an effort to replicate a REIT ETF I hold the following REITs
which in total compromise 12 percent of my portfolio.
BPY/DIR/HR/NVU/SIA.
I am thinking of adding CHP which would increase the percentage held to 13 percent. Do you think that this would provide reasonable exposure to the various segments within the REIT sector or would you suggest something else.
Thank you for considering my question.

Q: You have mentioned Dream's western Canadian exposure in other answers. This is purely anecdotal but I notice in Calgary that I have a lot of vacant space. Therefore I would prefer to own another industrial REIT. Recommendations please. Thanks always for your great service.

Q: Could I get your opinion on these two industrial REITs, both down somewhat due to new secondary offerings (general comments on the sector, payout percentage, debt level, etc.). Do you prefer one over the other? What would view as the maximum percent-of-portfolio for each?
Thank-you
