Q: Peter and staff, My question is on Cominar. It cotinues to be not well liked by the market. Many of the other reits have stopped going down or are recovering somewhat. I thought that Cominar was a very good stable reit. I must be missiing something. Can you please tell me what it is? Is there something different about Cominar from the other high quality reits? The best of the season to all of you, Thanks, Ken

Q: I would like to clarify my understanding of convertible debentures. AFN.DB, for instance, matures Dec 31 2014 and pays 7% interest. It is callable Dec 31 2013 by the company. I understand that its conversion rate was set at 22.23. Assuming that AgGrowth does not call the debenture and that I was to purchase it in early January, I believe I could expect two interest payments in 2013 and then 22.23 shares if the shares have reached their target price of $44.98 or higher by the end of 2014. Presently, the debenture is priced at about $40. If the shares do not gain further value in 2014, do I get $1000 in cash at the end of 2014 when the debenture matures or does the company change the conversion ratio in order to return the value in shares? Is there a negative impact; i.e., a significant dilution, on the stock price when the company suddenly releases all those shares to pay back the debentures? What is meant by the premium on the debenture? Is it the difference between the present value of the debenture and the value at the conversion rate? I thank you for your information and look forward to your reply.

Q: Hi Peter, The 12 months return for XRE is down 8% (including dividend) is it time to get in? For a 10% position in a portfolio (retired), is it best to buy 3 or 4 individual REIT or simply buy XRE? (Riocan/H&R/Callaway/maybe another one...all equal weight). Also,I would include BEP.UN within the 10% allocation
Thanks

Q: Hi Guys,

I am looking for income. Dundee REIT (D.un) currently pays an 8.2% distribution. There may be no growth for awhile, but do you see the distribution going down over the next 5 years? I would be quite happy with an annualized 8% return over that time frame. I know you don't have a crystal ball, but can you give me an estimated percentage of the likelyhood of a rate reduction.

Regards
John

Q: What is your opinion of Agellan Commercial Reit. Is a buy at these levels. Should all reits be avoided due to possible taper by the US fed. Thanks for your always insightful answers.
