Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I bought CSH.UN a couple of years ago and have been extremely disappointed. As it has been flat, many other REITs have done well, and it even lags badly behind Sienna, its competitor, since my purchase. Are you aware of any particular reason for its (relatively) poor showing? Would you suggest that a long-term investor hang in, or move on? Thanks!

Q: I am as of today down 15% with vet.with a 12% yield. My thought is that if I do not really need the tax loss and would be quite happy with a 6% yield . Can you offer an opinion on if a div. Cut is in the works that vet .with it's track record and balance sheet does not need to cut div. By more than 50% TKS. Larry

Q: I hold BEP.UN in both my RRSP and non-registered accounts. It's having a good run and is now roughly 7.5% of my portfolio. I'm starting to think about lightening up to 5% on it even though it shows no sign of slowing down yet. The 2.5% i would sell would eliminate the holding in the RRSP to no tax consequences.

Deciding to sell a stock is always a struggle for me. Which of these options would you recommend:
Use a trailing stop loss (for the 2.5%) to protect against a hard reversal in SP and just let it ride?
or
Use near the money, 1 or 2 month covered calls on the 2.5%?
or
Sell the 2.5%.
or
Just continue to hold the 7.5%

Your advice is always appreciated.

Q: Goodmorning
I have a 1% position in ZGI and a 3% position in BIP.UN I am thinking of selling ZGI and using the proceeds to invest in BIP.UN in an effort to cut down on the number of positions I have in the total portfolio I am wondering what your thoughts would be with such a move?

Q: I see that for NTR and HR.UN the RSI is entering oversold territory. What importance do you place in the RSI for a company when considering a buy or sell? I am considering buying these two companies at these levels, would you recommend a purchase now? I am surprised at the sinking stock price of HR.UN compared to other REITs, do you see a particular reason for this? Thank you for your great work.
