Q: What is your opinion on SRU ?, valuation , yield and other metrics seem similar to REI.UN , which I own enough already. Is SRU management of quality ?, they seem to invest in secondary markets (mid and small cities malls ) and have Walmart as one of their main tenants , what risks are in owning it that are not in Riocan.

Q: When I compare MFT (that I own) and FRL.UN with ZFH and PGI.UN I don't understand why the former don't perform as well as the latter. What can explain that and what would be the best bond ETF (low volatility and reasonable yield) to own within a registered and non registered account. Also, do you know a bond ETF giving mostly capital gain for a non registered account to reduce the income in interest.

Q: I am a retired, conservative, dividend-income investor. I just sold CGX and need to replace it with something else in the Consumer sector. I currently own AW, NWC, PBH and love dividends.

Can you please give me 3 replacement options in the Consumer Cyclical space as well as 3 options in the Consumer Staples space? If it is possible to filter a dividend over 3%, that would be ideal...if not 3%, then try for > 2%.

Thanks...Steve

Q: I hold both of these companies and need to take some profits and redistribute to other holdings. From previous questions I understand a date for the spin offs has not been announced. I do not want to sell now and lose out on the benefits of the spinoffs.
Would the current share price reflect the value of these spinoffs and then drop a corresponding amount when it hits the effective ex-div date similar to regular dividend payments?
I also plan on rebuying the spin off version of bip.un in my taxable acct (both currently in RRSP) based on my understanding that the full dividend would then be eligible for the dividend tax credit. Is this correct?
Thanks.
