Q: Hi Peter,

Daniel Drimmer was part of a group that took transglobe apartment reit public, then lead a group to privatize those same properties. A few months later, again, Mr. Drimmer is now taking some apartment properties in Montreal public (TN.UN).

First off, can you offer any insights as to why Mr. Drimmer would go public with a set of properties (tga.un); then privatize them a few years later; then take another group of properties public (tn.un)?

And secondly, what are your thoughs on True North Apartment Reit?

Thanks.

Q: Can you please comment on SIR.UN. In particular, what do you think of their payout sustainability and debt levels. Would you recommend it at current prices? Will they be required to convert to a corp at some point? Thanks for your help.

Q: Hi Peter. Thanks for the the recommendations.
Question: What is your long term outlook for Brookfield Office Properties (BPO-T)? Seems cheap on a P/E basis but has a PEG in the +7 range (if the source I am using is correct). Share price remains relatively flat, unlike the REIT sector in general.
Thanks.

Q: Peter hi....the SG US Equity Market Neutral small cap Fund from Arrow (AHP410) returned 3.5% annually over a 5 yr. period......how does that square with the FP (Dave Kaufman) comments as below....
am I mis-reading something......

http://www.arrow-capital.com/PerformancePrices/OpenEndedFunds/ClassA.aspx



"...The performance of SG has been nothing short of remarkable since its inception in 2006. Its annualized return of 12.6% compared to an annualized return of 2.3% for the Russell 2000 over the same period..."

Q: CIC Energy (ELC) will merge with Jindal Steel at $2 but the stock is trading at 1.77. Do you think there would still be some risks to this merger agreement or is it ok to hold it from this point to get around 13% return in two months.

Q: Peter, great job. Your comments please on 2 positions I hold: Major Drilling MDI and SNC. Buy, sell or hold? What are your views on the sectors they operate in and on the companies themselves? Would you recommend any alternatives? Thanx.

Q: Hi, more of a request than a question. Is it possible for you to include tax treatment of dividends in your reports. I know the tax is not the main consideration in an investment decision but it can help decide which type of account to purchase. For example in 2011 Boston Pizza distributions were almost 100% taxable as other income, A&W dividends were 100% "ineligible" while DH paid 100% "eligible" dividends. Different tax rates apply to all three - if I was interested in buying Boston Pizza I'd be looking at using RRSP/TFSA funds to do it. thanks for the great service, Ed
