| Comment | 17.080 | Michele Robitaille | Have been some bids to take over the company. The initial one is due relatively shortly. In the event it gets voted down, there is no assurance that the 2nd bid is going to materialize, but stock movement indicates the market feels it is going to happen. | 2007-03-23 | |
| Comment | 17.190 | Paul Gardner, CFA | Downtrodden sector for the last year, but recently the sector has had a bidding war. Ventas (VTR-N) is making a bid for this one. Doesn't think there will be any more bids. If you own, they would recommend you accept. | 2007-03-19 | |
| HOLD | 17.900 | Dennis Mitchell, CFA | A seniors-living REIT. Unique in that it is primarily U S properties. Has used this one as a trade. Expect it will be purchased. Doesn't see any further upside here. | 2007-02-16 | |
| DON'T BUY | 9.800 | Charles Dillingham | The new trust rules will hurt this one as it doesn’t fall into the Real Estate REIT category. Has been under performing. It either has to re-structure or will be taken over. A lot of assets in the US, so currency can affect it. | 2006-12-08 | |
| HOLD | 9.800 | David Driscoll | 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. | 2006-06-29 | |
| DON'T BUY | 10.000 | Robert Lauzon | 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. | 2006-06-02 | |
| WEAK BUY | 12.350 | Robert Lauzon | 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. | 2006-04-07 | |
| VAGUE | 12.850 | David Driscoll | 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. | 2006-02-24 | |
| WATCH | 12.350 | Bill Carrigan | This stock is interest rate sensitive. It needs to be compared to a risk free investment like a bond. It is not exciting to look at its past history. Don't let it go below $11.00. | 2006-02-14 | |
| HOLD | 13.700 | Michele Robitaille | 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. | 2005-09-16 | |
| WAIT | 11.450 | Michele Robitaille | Feels it is a high quality trust. Covers the full spectrum in senior living. Could potentially be some upside due to their relationship with Sunrise Senior Living (SRZ-N). Waiting to see how well that pipeline pans out. | 2005-03-18 | |
| BUY | 11.770 | Garth Jestley | 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. | 2005-02-18 | |
| BUY | 11.540 | John Priestman | 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. | 2004-12-31 | |
