Q: Hi Peter,
I have CAR.UN in my RRSP account for a number of years. It has performed poorly for the past year, though interest rate is heading downward which should be good for REITs. What are the reasons, apart from immigration restriction, for the negative momentum for CAR.UN? I’ve a 13% loss on this stock and I am thinking of selling it with no tax loss benefit and buy another REIT. Please suggest a few REITs that will provide a stable dividend and flourish in this economy. I’m thinking NWH.UN can be one possibility but it is at a year high. I already owned DIR.UN, BEI.UN and PLZ.UN. Thanks.
