Q: Hello, wondering if you have any insight into this drama at GIL? Both sides seem to have very good arguments to support their side. On the company side, it appears that that the former CEO was acting in his own interests and diversions. On the Browning side, it seems this new GIL CEO has a poor track record. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Q: In reference to your answer that we should consider being overweight the US at this time, can you give one US name in each sector for modest growth (not dividends) over the next few years? Please take as many credits as necessary with thanks.

Q: Just wondering if you are still comfortable with this REIT.

Have been looking for a commercial property REIT for purposes of diversifying holdings away from multi-family. And I know Choice acquired the old Canadian REIT years ago, which I thought to be of very high-quality at the time.

Choice appears to have less risk due to its size (705 investment properties) and the loan to value ratio appears commensurate with peers.

However, there seems to be a huge number of equity units outstanding after factoring in the exchangeable units. As well, what really appears unusual for CHP.UN is that it trades at a significant premium to NAV whereas most entities in the Canadian REIT universe currently trade at a discount to NAV.

Thank you

Q: I've never had the stomach to buy U.S. dollars to acquire American stocks, so the other day on BNN's Market Call when Greg Newman talked about CDR's, I was intrigued.

Are there any negatives in owning CDR's? Because right now the positives -- such as being Canadian dollar-hedged, the fact they appear to trade like a one company mutual fund, and not having to buy U.S. dollars -- appear pretty damned attractive. Pete.
