Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: The stock is 19.40. Even if it seems 'on sale' considering recency history (last year), when oil was last at this level, the stock went as low as 8.50. Was it purely a crisis of confidence? Or, did vacancy rates increase quite a bit? Even though the yield of 6.5% looks good, the 30% exposition to Alberta is bound to show increasing vacancy rates over the the next 2 years. The chart also doesn't show much support from here. What do you think? Waiting for a few weeks shouldn't hurt right?

Q: Hello Peter & Co,
The only way I am currently participating in US housing activity is through Tricon Capital; could you please suggest a couple of other Canadian names? My exposure to it should not exceed 4% of my portfolio.
For example, I am exposed to the Auto industry through Linamar and Magna and have recently added a position in Exco Technologies; altogether, they represent 6% of my portfolio.
Happy New Year
Antoine

Q: Temple Hotels announced on Dec 23 that Morguard had purchased another 7 million shares of Temple Hotels at an average cost of $1.07 thru a private share purchase agreement and this was completed with less than 5 vendors. Who would sell that quantity of stock at these prices?

Morguard now owns 39.45% after taking into account the convertible debentures.

They also announced they would be would be taking over the asset management of Templeton from Shelter Canadian Properties Limited.

It seems that Morguard is taking control of this company and was wondering if you could add provide comments on what is taking place at Temple Hotels.

Q: I know what something is worth is what someone is prepared to pay for it. However, Morguard seems to be a very good company, well run etc. Yet it trades well below asset value. I have seen previous answer but wonder what would be a catalyst to propel the share price higher. I am a long term holder but the stock has been in idle for quite some time. Thanks, Bill

Q: I am down 22% on MRT.UN versus up 26% on CSH.UN with investments made at about the same time. I wanted to diversify a bit.

I like the almost 7% dividend that MRT.UN is paying but would like to see the share price come back up. How are they doing with leasing the retail spaces that became vacant or non paying when Target moved out?

Is it a buy, sell or hold. I might be happy to put more money in (RRIF) as long as there is not too much risk of downside.

Thanks your input.
