Mainstreet Equity: Needs A Catalyst - Mainstreet Equity Corp. (OTCMKTS:MEQYF)

Image
Mainstreet Equity (OTC:OTC:MEQYF) is an under-the-radar residential apartment owner/operator in Western Canada . Despite a market cap of $325m (all figures Canadian ), it often sees volume of less than 1000 shares a day on the TSX where it trades under the MEQ ticker. The recent investor presentation (July 2017) gives a brief snapshot of the properties Mainstreet controls . It's important to note that Mainstreet is well away from the frothier markets in Canadian real estate , both geographically and in terms of price point. The average apartment it owns is valued at just marginally more than $100k with an average monthly rent of just $864. These are solidly middle class , leaning lower middle class , properties. The company is focused on rolling up what they view as smaller, underperforming buildings, often ones that have fallen into significant disrepair, are being managed by inexperienced and/or unprofessional owners, and giving them a makeover, with some recent examples fr...

The Home Front: In Colorado, ‘fed up’ towns take on the oil-and-gas industry

Image
“Colorado residents fed up with what they see as the state’s failure to protect people and the environment are fighting fossil- fuel development inside their towns by making new rules requiring odor control , bigger setbacks and company disclosure of underground oil and gas flowlines,” reports The Denver Post . “But the industry and state government are ready to fight back.

Advertisement But an investigation by STAT and The Boston Globe has uncovered evidence of shoddy care and turmoil inside the walls of the company’s two Massachusetts treatment centers . This report is based on interviews with more than a dozen fo...
