Q: The final pricing of the CHC common share offering hasn't yet been fixed, but is supposed to be between $8.50 and $10.00. I recently purchased some at around $8.30, and expected to see the price rice at least a bit. However, tday the share price has fallen by almost 13%, on very high volume for this stock.
Any idea what is going on?
Thanks!

Q: Hi Team,
I know you mostly comment on stocks, and I have read your previous commentary on MRC.
I have a hole to plug in my five-year bond ladder which serves as the low risk side of my portfolio. I was thinking of buying an MRC bond maturing 12/10/18, CUSIP 617577AA9, as a small fraction of my bond holdings. Do you think this is a reasonably "safe" investment even though it carry's a BBB low rating? I plan to hold to maturity.
Thank you. Michael

Q: Hi team, Could I get your thoughts on this REIT? I'm looking for a combination of growth and income, and have no REIT holdings at the moment. I like the sound of what they are planning to do in downtown Toronto with family-sized housing. If you have a better one to suggest, please do. Thanks!
Q: Stock has been acting poorly since they bought their sister company MOB recently. Thought this would make this a stronger co. not a weaker one. Comments please?
Q: If there were to be a competing bid for RLC how soon do you believe this would occur and what odds would you give it? Given this offer for RLC do you believe this will precipitate future take-overs of other healthcare REITS. Thanks.
Q: Is CYS a good stock to be holding in one's portfolio.Eddie.
Q: Can you decipher for me. I own some shares of MCCAN and I got this offer
"Each holder of MCAN's common shares ("Common Shares") as of the close of business on June 16, 2015 (the "Record Date") will be issued one right (a "Right") for each Common Share held. The combination of fifteen Rights and $10.90 (the "Exercise Price") will entitle a Rightsholder to subscribe for one Common Share at or before 4:00 pm (Toronto time) on July 10, 2015 (the "Expiry Time"). Rights not exercised at or before the Expiry Time will be void and will have no value".
Much appreciated

Q: I heard there was a study published a few months ago by Royal Bank that concluded investing in REITs was more favourable than purchasing residential real estate directly. I find this hard to believe if you factor in the benefit of leverage. Would you be able to provide a link to this study?
Also, based on a recent TD Research report CAR.UN and MRG.UN are recommended as buys for residential REITs. I like that they have relatively low exposure to the Western provinces with MRG.UN having US exposure. Please give me your opinion on these two REITs.
Thank-you.

Q: CHC Student Housing offered new shares yesterday, at a yet-to-be-determined price within the range $8.50 - $10.00. They also announced the implementing of an approx 5.2% dividend. This offering sold out very quickly (10 min on my iTrade account) and so I did not have time to buy any of the offering.
This morning, I note that it is trading at $8.42 (albeit with very low volume), below the lowest value of the range. Since the offering seems to have been very popular, I would have expected trading at a much higher price.
Is it a good buy today at $8.40 - $8.50?
Thanks!

Q: Hi Peter and staff
I own NPR.UN and have not liked the price drop from when I bought it but with low payout ratio, I was prepared to wait it out hoping that if Alberta picks up so will it. I am now considering bailing out in favour of REF.UN.
Thoughts?
Thanks for all you do

Q: Today I read the following report on Stockhouse.....
"Retrocom Real Estate Investment Trust (the "REIT") (TSX:RMM.UN) announced today that it intends to reduce the REIT's annualized distribution from $0.45 per unit to $0.30 per unit. The new distribution would represent a Funds From Operations ("FFO") payout ratio of 70.8%, compared to 106.1% as reflected in the REIT's first quarter reporting, and would represent a yield of 8.3% based on the June 16, 2015 closing price of the REIT's units on the TSX. The REIT also announced that it will be changing its name to OneREIT in the coming months."
What are your thoughts on growth with this considerably reduced payout ratio ? And what is your opinion on the quality of their existing property portfolio regarding safety of the new reduced yield ? And your thoughts on the company in general relative to reits with similar yields ? So far I'm inclined to take a position in D.UN or CUF.UN based on questions I asked recently but the reduced payout ratio for RMM.UN interests me from a growth perspective.
