Investment Q&A

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

Q: Can you comment on their recent quarter please. I’ve been following this stock for a very long time. Are things potentially turning here? On a likely completely unrelated note. I just saw home capital group (another darling Real-estate finance company from 5+ years ago break out). Obviously TII is a micro cap. But do your think these results are sustainable near term?

Q: Hello,

The following REITs make up 25% of my TFSA: NVU, NWU, CSH, DIR, HR
The following make up 10% of my TFSA: AD, SIA, AW

Other Holdings: AQN, BCE, BNS, BIP, BEP, ENB, FTS,SLF & T.

Am I too concentrated in REIT's? I am in my mid 60's.

Thank You.

Q: 1. I was considering buying FCR for a nonregistered account as it has a fully eligible dividend, but I see it is imminently converting to a REIT - is there any way of knowing how the distributions will be classified going forward (and therefore the taxation treatment)?
2. What do you recommend as tax efficient real estate holdings for a nonregistered account? Many thanks.

Q: I note in your reply to Mark today you say that COLD is expensive; the question from an investment standpoint is how expensive are they? It seems that earnings expectations are all over the place for fiscal '19 and '20. First Call seems to expect over $1 in '20, TR 0.67, while PE ratios presented are anything between almost 300 and 130, which doesn't compute, and on top of that should COLD be evaluated as a REIT AFFO or other criteria or as an ordinary industrial equity? I also note that COLD has failed to meet earnings expectations for the past four consecutive quarters.

Taking into account actual earnings and volume growth could you please fill in some of these gaps and provide a basis for reasoned evaluation of this company's share pricing. The price run down in recent days could provide an attractive entry into an enterprise which appears to have significant prospects because of industry needs as well as fragmentation. Thank you.

Q: Hello Peter,
Can I have your opinion on this ETF. I like the holdings & sector weightings.
I am considering it instead of ZLB. Yes, it is smaller & hasn't performed as well as ZLB, but it has a slightly lower MER and a higher dividend yield, which I like.
What is the max portfolio weighting you would recommend?
I am also considering bumping up the reit weighting with REIT and would appreciate your opinion on this ETF also.
Thank you,
Martin
