Q: ho folks:

in feb 2011 i purchased this at $30.30 (in rrsp)

-- the income rec'd is very close to the drop in capital value

-- ie, i have rec'd about 2k in income and the shares are down about 2k - so i am about breakeven (ish)

question: understanding the oil/alta problems; am i better to sell and buy say a SIA/EXE or ZRE/XRE or ??, OR is D.UN a blue chip that is suffering unduly?

sell, or hold and wait for eventual recovery?

this is my only real estate holding

thanks

Q: Do you have an opinion on Vtr?
How does it look on metrics?and what is the market telling us as the stock is on a downward spiral.
It seems to have great diversification in the right space

Q: Surprised by the drop in price after what appears to be solid results. Something I am missing maybe no dividend increase.
Thank you for your comments.

Q: Hi In May of 2013 the US had started to telegraph the raising of interest rates. Most income stocks like REIT's were hit hard for an extended time. Do you think that in Dec when it is possible for rates to rise that we may see the same scenario again.

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.
