If you don't continually put money into your hotel, the property will lose its appeal to attract customers. This happened in this case. Dropping its distribution which is realistic on their part.

COMMENT
A wonderful asset and looks like it is going to be taken out. There might be $.75 to $1 more, but if you own, consider taking some profit.

BUY
A big part of its revenue are services in the hotels so it will have a tax situation. A value investment. Low yield at the moment. Will probably be acquired. Relatively safe.

HOLD
DON'T BUY
Have great assets. Hotel industry went through a very tough period when travel was impacted by 9/11, SARS, etc. It is starting to recover but not as quick as expected. This company relies on US travellers coming to Canada but the strong Canadian$ is impacting this. Could do better in other trusts.

SELL
Have some very nice properties, but they are big properties that need very high occupancy rates to make them efficient. Its parent, Fairmont, is being taken over which puts a different valuation on this and are starting to trade closer to their net asset value. Would consider moving out.

WEAK BUY
Has had a lot of debate. Has been doing better recently. More of a value stock rather than a yield. Underlying value could be in the area of $9. Has the same problems that a lot of hotels have, i.e., US visitors are not coming up like before. If it got around $8.50, he would look at selling it.
