Q: re: AYA

has come back a bit (11%) over the past week. Considering your last comment regarding "rumors of a big acquisition at Amaya" and "it is still a solid company but will likely drift back to $8 or so" is there anything you have seen or can add now regarding what might happen over the next short term?

Thanks for all you do

Q: Could you compare Morguard( MRC) and First Capital Realty (FCR)? They both get a B+, and have very different client bases and dividends.

Do you have any concerns about FCR being a mall landlord in times when e-retailing is on the rise?

Thank you all! I wish we could get such straight talk from our politicians!

Q: Chartwell REIT (CSH.UN) hit a new high today, presumably from news that Ventas is acquiring some retirement communities from Holiday Retirement. Is Chartwell expensive now or do you think it still has room to go? Do you think the REIT may be a future takeover target? Thank you for a great service!

Q: Air Transat (TRZ.B):

After a collapse in share price in March to $8.10, Transat's share price has been gradually recovering and then today was up over 6 percent to close at $9.40. To partially assess risk reward I look at average analysts' one year price targets which for Transat are either $15.47 (Globe) or $15.50 (Thompson R), offering significant possible upside potential. At $9.40 it is still selling at less than BV with no debt (that I can determine). It is a small position for me (about 1.5 %) but I am contemplating increasing that to perhaps 2 %, but I have no insight as to why the price has moved up. I was wondering what thoughts or recent info (in addition to your March report), you might have. Thanks.

Q: I recently purchased Fiera (FSZ) but it has been on a fairly steady decline for the past month. Are you still comfortable with your rating, and might this be a good chance to pick up some extra shares 'on sale'?
Thanks, Bob
