Q: I have been a loyal loblaws shore holder for years. So why when they "spun off" Choice Properties REIT last July I not get any actual shares of the REIT. They units yield over 6% and loblaws controls 80% of the units. I think they made about $4 mill from the IPO. The stock when up on this deal. Can you explain how existing shareholders benefit from this arrangement.

Q: re: Magna International
Hi guys... trying to find a good entry point for MG. Forward P/E is just 12.4 and price to book is just 1.9 so there appears to be tremendous value. Add to that nine out of 10 estimates have been raised for 2014 in the previous 30 days BUT... the stock is at a 5 year high. And this with the Auto industry not necessarily lighting the world on fire as it was expected to for a number of reasons. What are your thoughts on how this equity will perform over the coming 12 - 24 months. I keep looking for a correction with none in sight. Thank You

Q: First, I would like to thank you for this incredible service, i.e. the opportunity to ask an investment question.
BPY is acquiring BPO. Which would be more prudent, accept the offer by BPY to exchange my BPO shares for an equivalent BPY or sell my BPO shares at 20.34/ share, which is higher than my purchase price. What are the future prospects for BPY and REITS in general. After the sell-off in May (QE taper scare!), many REITS are moving up but they are still a long way from their highs.
Thank you!

Q: I am holding some AQN and have not heard much on it for a while. What is your opinion of it now. Thanks really respect your opinions.
Q: I own shares of BPO which are being taken over by BPY. I have now received a "Voluntary - Purchase Offer". I wish to take your advice from 20 Sept 2013 which was to "take the maximum cash and stock option". However, I am not sure if I should choose "Option 6: Tender - Limited Partnership Units", or "Option 8: Tender - Exchange Limited Partnership Units - Residents of Canada". I do not understand the use by Option 8 of the designation "Exchange". Both are for Canadian currency accounts only. I reside in Canada. Your advice would be greatly appreciated.
Q: Hi 5i,
I see that CSU and ESL both report earnings this week. Is there any reason to suspect less than stellar results from these companies? Which would you prefer? I do not hold either - yet...
