Q: Hi Peter & 5i: Am I missing it or is there no link from your Members page to your model portfolio?
My real question is whether you could take another look at the answer you gave to Ken on his ZPR question? In particular the comment that: “... we would not choose a single company over an ETF.” Presumably that isn’t generally true or else your model portfolio would only hold ETFs. Keep in mind that Ken’s question was about adding a holding in the context of a larger portfolio. Presumably there are times, at least, during which you might prefer the prospects of a single company over the index (or average return) for the relevant sector. So are you really just saying that right now you don’t prefer HR.UN’s prospects enough to outweigh any perceived individual company risk – or do you mean something more than that? Thanks!

Q: Hi Peter:
I am looking for income
I have positions in Reits including Riocan, CSH.un. H&R
Calloway and a smaller position in Dundee and Granite Reit
the last 2 has taken a bigger hit than the rest of the REITs
If I have more funds coming in to invest, which REIT of the above would you consider to add to ? I have heard of Boardwalk
but unsure if you cover it or not ?
Many thanks! Great show on BNN, Peter gave us alot of very valuable information!

Q: i was about to buy shares in h&r reit but since the attempted buy out i am now not sure. i read that if the takeover succeeds a lot of funds would be over weight this name and have to sell shares - you would expect the shares would slip back at that time.
so, is it better to wait or it doesn't really matter. if you like it buy it?

Q: We purchased some share of H&R Reit in November. This morning it was announced that H&R have bid for the purchase of Primaris. Management claim that this is a once in a lifetime opportunity in Canada and that it will not increase the debt to buy. They also say that it will increase liquidity and growth of the company. The market seems to be negative about this news. What do you think of this deal?
Thanks to Peter and Team.

Q: I see the Q/A regarding HR.UN acquiring Primaris... But I have a questions as to why HR.UN stock would start the day negative on what I would find positive news? I have seen this in a few other transactions with other stocks where my initial thoughts would be awesome , but more times than not the opposite happens - am i thinking wrong? Do you have any insights as to why this happens - I'm still learning...
