Q: Hi, I’m a little low on oil and reits and was thinking of vermillion or summit to add at this time. Vermillion because of a possible rebound and dividend, or Summit as it is in a nice uptread but may be soon done? I have been caught a few times buying high and watching it go south.
Would you have a clear idea which way to go or a better alternative? I don’t want to buy both because of limited funds
Thanks

Q: I hold Can. Apartments and Northview (half as much). I am considering averaging down Can. Apartments due to low market yield and perhaps adding to Northview. Would you consider this ok, in order to remain in residential?

Q: Hi Peter and Ryan: Thanks so much for your calming responses to the current volatility in the markets. This is my third time through a downturn since retiring in 2000. It isn't much fun, but intellectually I know that the market doesn't go constantly down as well as it doesn't go constantly up. Your well thought out reasons helps to remind me of this.
My first question is: in what sector do you place Csh.un.? It works best for me in Income Trusts, as that is why I have it. The TSX places it in Real Estate.
My second question is; is this a good time to purchase an ETF such as VEE and or FEZ? I am overweight in Canada and the U.S. and underweight in Emerging markets and Europe.
Thanks so much. Your advice is wonderful for a small investor such as myself.
