Q: In what order would you rank these residential reits for a long term hold (5 plus years)? Would you agree that you should have one or two as part of a core holding in a portfolio? Thank you .

Q: The acquisition announced yesterday is very accretive addition to ECN's business. A purchase price of only $100M US adds 22% to net income. ECN raised $2.7B US from asset sales earlier this year, so the war chest is full. Am I missing something (debt paid down from the the $2.7B?) or is this a company on the verge of much bigger things?

Q: Good morning Peter and team,

In the 10th anniversary edition of his book The Little Book of Common Sense Investing John Bogle states:

"My own total portfolio holds about 50/50 indexed stocks and bonds, largely indexed short- and intermediate-term."

Warren Buffett famously wants a 90/10 indexed stocks/government bonds mix for the trust fund he is leaving to his wife.

Given that interest rates will certainly go up from today's levels which will drive bond values down, wouldn't an investor be better off holding cash instead of bonds, cash drag notwithstanding?

Thank you.

Q: One of the Risks this company mentions in it's recent filings is "Contingency Risk" which they state is an estimate of the liability expense for claims NOT covered by their Liability Insurance. However I do not see any amounts set aside for Contingency Risk on any of their statements. 1st) which statement would I look on for this item - Income Statement, Balance Statement etc and 2nd) If there is no amount recorded on the statement which should carry it, does that mean they have no uninsured liability claims or perhaps that any such claims are in fact handled by the primary medical centers majority owners?
