Q: Hi Knowledgeable People:
Could you give me a quick 101 on CAP RATE? I believe it is the opposite of PE Ratio. So often on BNN I hear them talking about a cap rate of 6 or 10 etc. Do they mean 6%? Is a property with a cap rate of 12 more desirable than one with a 4% rate? Also, do you have any information on San Juan Basin Royalty Trust? I do not believe that it is an MLP ( which I want to avoid). I am concerned about tax reporting of trust income to the IRS. Probably a US Tax return would be required. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks very kindly,

BEN

Q: What are your current thoughts on HFR ? I have cash sitting in a bank savings account earning virtually nothing. I am thinking that HFR is a safe bet to put some of that cash and earn a little more interest than I am getting at the Bank and still be relatively safe.

Q: Constellation Software's (CSU) press release yesterday seemed to confirm that CSU may be undergoing a new growth phase which will see it take on very large deals through the utilization of stand alone debt financing. The stock price has moved up sharply and on high volume. I am wondering if this new strategy will attract a new class of large institutional shareholders? Many thanks, Peter
