Q: Hi there,
I currently own both these companies however i am wondering if its work switching to Artis (AX.un) given the cheaper evaluation and its expansion outside of Alberta. Looks like the worst is behind it but just wondering if its worth the switch. Look for a bit of growth and yield.
Thanks

Q: Given that AAR.UN has been purchased for a reported price of 8.10 per unit and there appear little reason why this deal will fail can you suggest a reason why the units trade somewhat below 8.10. The fact that a substantial distribution continues to be paid would leave me to expect the trading price should be above 8.10 by the value of the distribution. Actually I wish this deal would fail, it is a tremendous company.

Q: There is always the debate about investment in real estate versus the market. I lean towards the market. If one is to buy a rental property you get better leverage with a mortgage. Your income is from rental from which taxes and maintenance must be deducted. Liquidity is not as good as in the stock market. On the other hand you could buy a good REIT if you wish to stay with property and let someone else do the work and rely on capital gain and dividends and have liquidity. Can you suggest some REITs in which to invest.

The classic example of the thirty year track record Royal Bank where the price went from $3 to near $100 and a dividend of $3 so the stock appreciated by 33 times and the dividend is 100%. You can't touch that with real estate.

Your comment.

Q: I presently own REF in my RRSP (4%) - with the aquisition by CHP would it be advisable to keep the merged position or sell and replace. If I replace - what REIT looks good at the moment? I also have a position in AX (2.5%). Should I sell before the close or wait for another competing offer? If I don't by a replacement REIT what looks good in it's place?

Thank You

Q: Having sold my AAR.UN on the buyout news, I have been sitting on some cash and looking at either DIR.UN or NWH.UN to replace AAR. Do you have a preference between these two, and your reasons. Note that I am more interested in income stability than growth, and already hold a small position in NWH.UN.
Thank-you

Q: This looks like an interesting REIT which buys income-generating auto dealerships. Seems to provide good payouts and cash flows seem good so far.
Would you see this as a income stock or is it more of a growth stock ?
The way they acquire dealerships makes it appear like a growth stock. Your views please.
