Q: Re my question on H-IR, the receipts are trading around $27 and H is trading around $19 - 20. If the deal goes through what do I get for one H-IR? The press release which I read, and which you quoted did not make this clear to me. I assume I would not be trading a $27 H-IR for a share of H worth $20. (or would I ?)
And, also, what specifically would I receive if the deal does not go through?
Thanks,

Q: COR, the US data center REIT, is down 7% in the first 2 hours today . There was one downgrade---just one analyst (Cowen). I have searched for other news and found none. I don't have the Cowen report; perhaps you have access? Other analysts have not reported anything negative. And neither is there any other news [ yet] that I could find to justify the suden report. Granted, based on just numbers alone COR did look overvalued, and Robos did conclude that as they are based on just robotic (automated) analytics. So, what has changed? It is tempting to buy COR.(the Ex-div is a couple of days yet holders are dumping). Clearly , the market knows something that has not yet been reported. What gives, do you know/can you tell? Does Cowen have THIS much impact? I doubt that, so there must be something else surely? What is your view on today’s price on this US REIT? You have favored COR.us in the recent past.

Q: Regarding my earlier q on NRGY you mentioned that it was trading at a discount of around 3.5% and explained that there were some good reasons not to like the mutual fund that it would roll into.
But given that closed it closed at 5.52 and Ninepoint shows NAV as 6.03 it could - at that price - be purchased at a discount of about 8%, no? If that were the case, would it not have made sense - apart from the commodity risk - for a fund which will close in about 4 weeks and for which an investor would receive its NAV?
(I was really asking whether I was missing something in the conversion process from NRGY to NPP008)
