COMMENT
Market Outlook She thinks US earnings met expectations for 15% growth over the year. Dove comments from the FED and improvement in trade relations has allowed for a 15+% recovery in US and Canadian markets since the lows in December. Going forward the market will again need earnings growth to continue rising. She does not see a recession on the horizon, given good employment numbers. The FED announced in early January that further interest rate increases will be driven by market dynamics -- which soothed market concerns that rates would increase regardless. Canadian growth will lag that of the US, because of rising interest rates here causing a cooling of the housing market.
COMMENT
Chartwell vs Sienna She owns Chartwell and thinks both are in a growing sector -- senior housing. Sienna has a lower level of regulation, compared to Chartwell, due to the former's higher level of long term care facilities. Chartwell holds the largest market share in Canada -- giving them economies of scale. Chartwell's yield is just under 4% and they have a good pipeline to develop future growth.

COMMENT
Dividend sustainable? She thinks you need to watch that the dividend does not become too high relative to earnings per share, but she does think the yield is sustainable. She holds almost 0% in energy at this time. They started buying Canadian properties, which has caused the market to question that when they hold so many assets in higher priced markets. Yield 9%.
