DON'T BUY
Just went public at $10. You won't hurt yourself by buying this one, but wouldn't buy at this price. There is a lot of exposure to Zellers and not sure where that store fits into the Canadian retail landscape over in the next 5 years. Buy Northern Property (NPR.UN-T) instead as it is a safer alternative with better properties in areas that have higher growth.
BUY
Raised some money to buy a power plant from their parent. It is S1 rated which means that it is one of the most stable trusts. Yield is about 7%. Won't make a lot of money on it, but it is stable.
DON'T BUY
One of his favourite trusts. Trading near its all-time highs. Valuation is higher than the rest of the group, but is warranted because of its great track record and management team. Fairly valued and upside is probably limited.
DON'T BUY
In a tough business of processing fruit. High packaging costs and high transportation costs. Hard to pass on higher costs.
BUY
Fell in price over the last 2 weeks because of less volume in coal shipments next year from Fording (FDG.UN-T). Not a major concern. Good price.
BUY
Likes this one.
BUY
One of the blue chip trusts that has a conservative payout ratio, low debt. Have lost some key management personnel which would be a concern, but in this case, their areas have been built. Has dropped in price.
SELL
Has been a big disappointment. They are dealing with high fish costs, high freight costs and high fuel costs. Have not been able to pass the costs on. Did a lot of acquisitions that didn't work out.
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.
DON'T 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 one is going through a takeover process. Has underperformed.
BUY

DON'T BUY
Probably never should have come out as a trust. It IPOed at $10 and hit lows in the $3 range. There is a catalyst tried to shake up management/board and trying to surface some value.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
A great royalty trust. Had phenomenal returns. Has the highest reserve life of a conventional royalty trust. Low payout ratio. Gas weighted so during these times of low gas prices, it may trade down to the $25/26 level which would be a good time to pick some up.
HOLD
A trucking trust. Very economically sensitive. Prefers TransForce Income Fund (TIF.UN-T), ATS Andlauer Income Fund (ATS.UN-T) and Clarke Inc (CKI-T). A good hold here, but on any rally, would transfer to one of the above.
TOP PICK
Shoe stores. An excellent growth story. Can see 50% upside in the share price. They have incredible margins. Low-cost operation.
