Q: Hi Peter

In an article recently written by Boyd Erman he painted a negative picture of the U.S. residential rental market.He mentions that early players in the rental market like Carrington Holdings were having problems finding tenants for their properties,and that the returns aren't there anymore,he also mentions Tricon in this aricle.If Tricon experiences the same problems how much would this impact their earnings and cash flow?
Thanks Gord

Q: Could you give me latest views on BPF.UN. It would appear your last comments were given in April of this year.
Thanks

Q: CSS has been on a downward trajectory (down over 10%) since it announced it was acquiring Best Transfer. Is this an indication of investor dissatisfaction or is it just profit taking - seems like a large draw-down for "just profit taking". Is this a concern or is it a good buying opportunity?

Q: Hi, what do you think of HNL at this level? Would it still be a hold as I currently own it and have enjoyed the recent run.

Q: I have a question about Brookfield Renewable Energy LP.
I have owned BEP.UN long enough to have done fairly well with it. However, Vectorvest shows BEP.UN's earnings as fairly flat and low, give it a lower safety rating, and a '0' dividend rating.
Any thoughts as to why they are bearish and you are still bullish on the firm?
Thanks

Q: Hello,

I really want to add AVO and TCN to my portfolio but I'd have two sell two of my stocks to do so.

I was thinking of selling Magna to buy the AVO. I know Magna is a great company but I already own LNR and ACQ which are doing better than Magna in my portfolio right now and are in the same sector, so I'm thinking I'm overweight in the sector with Magna.

Also thinking of selling Ciniplex to buy Tricon. I know totally different companies, but my ciniplex has gone up 15% since I bought it a few months ago and I don't see as much upside with it as Tricon.

Please let me know what you think of this strategy?

Q: Re WIN.... With the CAD significantly challenged against the USD how does this affect WIN. Since it reports and collects in USD but pays in CAD is this not a game changer in thinking just like a commodity play? Are not most expenses for WIN are in CAD? What currency does it hide under its bed?

Thanks
