Q: Hi Peter and Team,

What is your take on Barry Critchley's article in today's National Post?

http://business.financialpost.com/investing/investing-pro/reit-investors-face-new-risk-as-ceos-age-raising-succession-questions

In this article, he discusses the problems that REITs may have going forward due to the 'advancing age' of some REIT founders with no apparent successors in place, thus increasing the possibility of a strategic change in direction for the REIT, or an outright sale.

Do you view this as a problem? What REITs in your view are most vulnerable if in fact there is credibility to the article?

Thanks as always for the timely and pertinent advice.

Q: Further to the Dutch auction, I am trying to figure out the affect this auction may have on the current and future stock price. When exactly does the company buy the stock? Do they do one big purchase on Apr 15 or buy daily along the way? Will the stock stay between $34 - $38 during the auction period or if the stock goes above $38 does the company end the auction? Finally, by putting a purchase price with a ceiling of $38 is the company saying that is what they think the stock is worth?

Apprecitate your insight.

Q: Hi. I have held HR.un for a number of years and it has been essentially flat although I've earned a decent dividend. Am thinking of switching for Sru.un giving up a bit of yield for some capital appreciation. Any thoughts?
Thanks

Q: chartwell and sienna (sia) and extendicare (exe) have been trading well lately, their payout ratios and dividends and earnings look solid

is there any reason they cant continue to make new 52wk highs? are valuations too stretched in this space or does the growth that these stocks have deserve the valuations?

Q: Hi Folks

Could you comment on the recent earnings report as well as the recent share appreciation. The price seemed to be topping in February when they announced strong results from partially held Vital Trust. That seemed to provide the impetus for another up leg. I have a nice profit and I am wondering whether it is time to sell and switch to another REIT. Thanks

Q: Feel free to disregard is this question is outside the scope of what 5i offers.

My question surrounds investing in real estate. Many investors have heard that even if we buy into the stock market at its peak and there is a crash, we will still be up in the long term. Does the same apply to real estate? That is, should an investor attempt to time the real estate market? We live in Alberta and not sure when the best time it is to upgrade our home. I'm also curious if real estate should be viewed as a portion of one's portfolio.

Thanks!
