Q: I hold ZRE in my non-registered account and it has taken a hit recently which I am ok with as I primarily purchased it for its healthy yield (5% plus). With an improving economy I would have expected some increase in the monthly payout and that has not happened. Would you expect the REIT industry will be increasing payouts in the near future or should I sell now to avoid further price deterioration as interest rates slowly increase. I already hold lots of interest rate sensitive stocks by way of utilities and pipelines. I note that you recommend H&R which has increased it's payout. Would this be a good switch.

Q: Hi Peter;
I bought Paladin PDN at $0.99 and it is now down 50%.
Is it a "hold" or a "sell" ?
If I sell, would a switch to Telus be a good play? It has a 4% dividend and BMO has upgraded Telus to outperform and upped the target price to $38.00.
I would also like your thoughts on Cineplex CGX.
Between Telus and Cineplex which one would you recommend?
Cheers Ron

Q: Ref: Doug's question on discount brokers: I believe there are articles available online showing rankings and recommendations for various discount brokerages. It takes some homework to decide which one might suit your specific needs. Rob Carrick at GlobeInvest also reports on surveys of online brokers.
