SELL
He recently got out about three months ago. They bought is in 2012 at much lower levels. Their assets are focused in Eastern Ontario and Quebec. He feels they are over distributing -- over 100% payout. That is okay for while, but it is not sustainable. Industry wide payouts are down to 80%. Their properties are getting better with some recent selling of non-core assets. They yield may be vulnerable. He would be a seller.

COMMENT
Dividend safe? He owned BTB.UN a few years ago as they held light industrial and commercial real estate around Montreal. The issue going back 3-4 years ago was they had issues meeting financial metrics, which he feels was due to them over distributing earnings. He would prefer to hold WPT and GRT.UN.

(A Top Pick June 1/17, Up 13%) He's held this for 7 years. It owns properties in Quebec and their properties cross retail, light industrial and commercial. Good management, but has an issue getting its story out. They're repositioning by selling poorly performing properties. It's still small cap which he seldom buys, but performs consistently with little volatility. A long-time hold.
