Q: Hello Peter, I bought this REIT a couple of years ago (admittedly blindly, just on some positive comments from J-F Tardif). I've been quite happy so far as, while the gains have been modest, it keeps paying out an almost 9% distribution without a lot of drama. Have I just been lucky so far? Can you offer a brief assessment of this REIT please, including its payout ratio and if you see anything that suggests I should take my gains and apply them elsewhere. Thanks in advance!

Q: I am looking to buy fixed income for my RRSP account. To enhance my fixed income return I have been buying convertible debentures. I am not too concerned that I will never use the convertibility feature as I buy these bonds strictly for yield. About 18 months ago I bought the ATP.DB.B convertible debentures maturing June 30, 2017 at a price in the low eighties. Today it is trading at 94.00. I am now considering buying ATP.DB.D maturing March 31, 2019. It is now trading in the low eighties. Do you feel the extra yield on ATP.DB.D is worth the extra risk relative to ATP.DB.B? Keep in mind I am not concerned about convertibility features and I am only looking for yield. I am willing to hold both of these debentures to maturity.

Thank you, I will wait for your response.

Q: Can I have your assessment of Allied as a buying opportunity right now. It is trading at close to its 52 week low, has a decent dividend and just reported what looks like good results. I have held this stock for almost 10 years so have seen it grow nicely and wonder if this is an opportunistic time to add to it. Thanks in advance for your guidance.

Q: There has been a lot of talk about a housing correction in Canada. I am interested in your views of how this could impact the Canadian stock market and what would be the most vulnerable sectors and stocks? Also, would this tip us into a recession?
Thank you

Q: Is there any benefit to owning this US hotel REIT when the CAD starts to appreciate vs. the USD? Although the distribution is paid in CAD, they must do all other business in USD. If this is true, will there be any concerns if/when either currency makes a big move in the other direction?
(Thank you in advance for helping me understand details like this. My overall portfolio is taking a beating, but I'm definitely learning a LOT :)
