Q: Hi, i am trying to reduce the family's portfolios from 29 stocks to arround 20. I have Sienna and Chartwell. Both together represent 4% of the portfolios. If I was to keep one with a 5 to 10 year time horizon which one would you suggest. Also I do look at a mix of growth and dividend growth but i dont like hight debt, actually i prefer companies with no debt or very low debt. Thank you so much for this fantastic service.

Q: I understand that SIA will soon be raising funds through a public offering to assist in the acquisition of two Ontario properties. Would one be well advised to wait until after this offering, before adding to a small position in a tax advantaged account? Or jump in now. Second question - Could you please give me some idea of i) insider ownership and ii institutional ownership. Thanks for all you do, Bill

Q: 5i. Thanks for heads up on SIA share issue through questions.

While I would like to get into seniors living reit and SIA with discount price seems like a good entry, I do have to sell another reit to do so.

I just picked up TCN (US housing)last week as entry to accumulate over time.
I have held HR (Retail and other) for years.

I like the idea of SIA one day being a take-out and it makes sense.

Would you advocate for a move from one or the other of the aforementioned reits to get into SIA?

Or will they all act similarly into and through 2018?

Thanks
Dave

Hello Peter :
My wife and I are in our 70's and require additional steady dividend income to complement our pensions and bond income. We wish to choose companies that we never need to consider selling and that have reliable dividend growth and little chance of dividend cuts.
We have a 4.5% cash position we want to invest.
We need to decide between two options:
1. Invest the whole 4.5% in RY or TD, [we already own 10% split between BNS and CM], or
2. Add to 2 or more of these existing positions : CSH.UN [3.2%], SIA [3.9%], NWC [2.2%], CSW.A [3.1%], RPI.UN [1.0%], or invest part in new positions in one or more of ET, ZCL, ABT, or ADN.
What choice or choices would you advise us to make for the highest probability of reliable long term income and dividend growth?
Thank you............. Paul K

Q: Hi, can you please comment on today's increase in trading volume. Also, how does this company compare to others in the industry pertaining to affo. With the upcoming capex and very few "buys" on the stock, do you feel this company has a higher probability of surprising to the upside? With payout ratio at around 60%, do you think they will raise the dividend anytime soon? Thanks! :)
