A smaller real estate investment trust. Likes smaller companies as eventually smaller companies grow into larger trusts or get taken out. Excited about its future.

TOP PICK
Commercial diversified REIT, focused on western Canada. Over distributing from a free cash flow standpoint but, on pace they hit 100%, if not in Q4 this year, definitely in Q1 of old seven.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 30/05. Up 11%.) Stock was consolidated on a 15:1 basis. This Top Pick was based on his theme of stronger growth in western Canada. Very conservative and well-run. Still likes. Trades at a discount to its net asset value. Still sees more upside.

BUY
This is a newer REIT. It is trading around $8.55. It has to prove itself but has expanded and taken on new properties. Believes it is an up and coming. It is largely Western based. It is one to hold and he recommends buying.

TOP PICK
Focused on office, commercial buildings in the prairie provinces. Led by a really strong real estate management team. Trading at a reasonable valuation near its net asset value. Yields over 9%. Sometime in the 2nd quarter they will do a reverse consolidation which will attract more names to this. Should have good upside and could be a takeover target.
