Q: Hello Peter
I am newly retired and looking for a stable replacement for my AAR.UN stocks. I’m looking for a steady income dividend type stock that I won't have to worry about. Wondering which of MRG.UN or BPY.UN would you recommend , and why ? Both are trading below book value.
Really appreciate your thoughts .
Thanks.
Joanie

Q: I own 245 shares of REF.UN that I have held in a brokerage account for some time. They recommend that I sell for $50.00 now, and they would only charge 1/2 the commission. I understand that if the deal goes through I can take the option to sell at $53.75 with no charges. In your expert opinion, what are the chances of the deal falling through? If this happens the shares would likely fall back to the $42.00 range.
I do not want the CHP.UN shares, but I would like to sell all of the REF.UN shares.
I am wondering if the broker just wants her commission. PLease give me your expert opinion. Sell now or wait?

Q: Could you comment on the buy-out proposal at $9.79 this morning. I would have expected the price to jump up to near that level quickly, which it has not (10 am). I hold a moderate position - would you sell or wait for more movement in the stock price? Electra has already raised its bid once, so this might be it.
Thank-you

Q: I have held BPY for a number of years, primarily for a solid, growing dividend. I am still up 20% plus the dividend and with the sell off in the past year I am looking at topping up to a 4% full position.
I do have a well diversified portfolio largely based on a mix of your 3 portfolios.
The recent selloff has broken support and am wondering if you see an end to the decline. I would think the dividend yield would be supporting the price unless there is a concern with the sustainability of the dividend.
Would you consider it buyable now or wait for further declines?

Q: I was looking to replace AAR.UN with an industrial reit. I found WIR.U which has P/E of 9.12 and DIR.UN has P/E of 26.19. Both are not 100% industrial reit. I will appreciate if you could give me some info on how come DIR.UN is having such high P/E? Or you can suggest some reit which has more growth rather then yield.
