Q: Greetings.

Can I get you guys to comment on Andrew Peller and Park Lawn earnings? It looks like Park Lawn would have been a significant beat excluding the "one time" costs, and Andrew Peller fairly solid results?

Any red flags regarding earnings, and would you consider adding to a 3% position on ADW.a and a 2% position on PLC?

Thanks again. Please feel free to charge 2 question credits for the above 2 questions.

Q: Hello 5i Team

I have equal dollar amounts in Boardwalk REIT (BEI.UN) and Northview Apartment REIT (NVU.UN). The REITs are held in a taxable account.

After release of the 2nd quarter results last week and the resulting change in share prices, I am down 5 % in Boardwalk and up about 1 % in Northview (after a long 2.5 years).

Should I sell my Northview and invest in Boardwalk for the long term or invest in Killam / Canadian Apartment to diversify my apartment REIT holdings from a apartment location strategy (i.e. Boardwalk is concentrated in Alberta, versus Killam is more eastern Canada and Canadian Apartment is more Ontario focused).

Thanks again for the great service.

Q: Does your opinion of cbl change at all after their 2nd q results release? I have about a 2% weighting (as of today) in an rrsp acct, down about 30%. I'm think of selling considering all the quality stocks with far fewer "issues" that are on sale right that I could replace it with. After watching what happened to efn after a rumor and no short interest, it has not recovered at all from it's significant drop so I can't see anything, other than a prompt privatization of cbl, that will turn it around. I don't think this q results will help at all either.

on a side note I think it could be a wise move to basically sell all stocks just before earning seasons and wait for the dust to settle before buying back. all stocks that miss, a lot that meet, and even some that beat get clobbered with very few that make a good run after a beat, dr is a case in point here which I hold. even with trading fees (about $5/trade) this seems like a very profitable possible strategy. I know it's not your style to trade like this but with the markets being as reactionary as they are with the hedge funds and day traders so active a swing of 10% plus swings could be very profitable and more than offset the very few that seem to move up on earnings.

thanks Tom
