Sunrise Senior Living REITSZR.UN.TOBUYDec 31, 2004
Retirement home business is very fragmented so it's an area where there is the opportunity to make accretive acquisitions. Likes all 3 of the plays in this space including Retirement REIT and Chartwell. This one caters to high income earners. Will be a little slower growing.

HOLD
Quarterly results have been delayed for a month which has created volatility. The accounting problem had to do with the past rather than with the present or future. Doesn't know of any big problems on the surface, but the longer the delay the more he worries.

DON'T BUY
Disappointed since it went public. Hasn’t met any of its IPO forecast. He sold most of his holdings. The whole “senior care living space” has been under pressure. Most of its properties are in the US and the stronger Cdn$ hurts.

WEAK BUY
Three main retirement REITs that he owns are Sunrise Senior Living (SZR.UN-T), Chartwell Seniors Housing (CSH.UN-T) and Retirement Residences (RRR.UN-T). Chartwell would be his top pick. This would be a B name but probably won't hurt you.

TRADE
He owns the parent company but not the underlying trust. They own the parent company because the opportunity is there for (mumble mumble). Their biggest fear is that the institution will buy out the shares and leave.

HOLD
A high quality trust and well managed. Focused on the high end of senior housing REIT's. Has a tie in with Sunrise Senior Living (SRZ-N) giving them opportunities for further developments in the US. A little bit expensive right now, but long term it's a good place to be.

BUY
There are 3 plays in the "Seniors' Living" sector, this, Chartwell (CSH.UN-T) and Retirement REIT (RRR.UN-T). "Retirement' trusts have a place in portfolios and they own all 3.
