Joined the party
My wife & I are retirees living off dividend income and my CPP & OAS. We were holders of NVU.UN which got a take-over offer this morning. One of my investing rules is to sell immediately when an offer is received. This has worked both ways for us over the years.
Anyway. we sold our 3200 shares at $36.48 so got a chunk of dough. I had always hesitated on WIR.U because of the US$. I stumbled on WIR.UN and realized this Cdn$ listing was quite new. I also caught up on this bullboard.
Anyway, we just bought an initital position of 2000 shares of WIR.UN at $19.21. I wouldn't have done this with the Cdn$ option so this is a small example of the dual listing working.
I'll be watching and evaluating bumping up our position in the next months.
Ciao

You'll be getting a much better deal than I did. I bought WIR.UN on Feb 19 at $19.21 and it is now $14.10. Ouch!! I sold all my NVU.UN when the take-over was announced and tried to find a new home for all the cash. Looks like I should have held NVU until the take-out in Sept. Oh well, who would have known.

I have had my eye on this one for a while picked up some at 14 today and will add to my position if it gets lower. Dont think we will go wrong here long term.

Hey Pod You lucky dog!! Well done. That's a great price. My $19.21 on Feb 20th (right before the start of the correction) doesn't look quite as good. :-) Good work. Sarge

I'm sure it will be fine once things settle down. All the industrial REITs are getting clobbered because Amazon (and maybe others) have stopped shipments.

We all will get past this in the very near future and look back at this was a good entry point for this and other REITs. GLTA
