Q: Wishing a Happy New Year to Peter, Ryan and staff!

I am looking for "relative" safety with some upside and yield. I noticed these two currently look attractive. Your thoughts/alternate suggestions please.

Q: Hi 5i,
I have a full position with SRU.UN in my income portfolio.
I'm planning on selling half and buying another reit for more diversification. Could you provide a reit suggestion that would work with SRU.UN?
Or 2 reits suggestions and sell SRU.UN?

Thanks Steve

Q: Hi - I have no REIT exposure and am considering adding either VRE or XRE. They are both promoted as tracking the TSX/S&P capped REIT index. When I overlay a graph of their 2 year price performance sure enough they are virtually identical. At first glance it would seem a no brainer to go with VRE since the MER is 1/2 that of XRE (.35% vs. 61%). However, it also appears XRE pays a substantially higher dividend ( ~ 4.7% vs. ~ 3% depending on the source I check). Can you shed any light on why the difference in the dividend when they are both tracking the same index? Do you have a preference for one over the other? Thank You

Q: Good morning 5i, I see CAR hit the market at $45.50 and I am in at $47. My question is how likely is that to cap the price and for how long. I am sick of watching losers so I am inclined to sell and replace it with a reit/other with better short-term potential. We rely on income from our investment so be it interest or growth it is all the same. What would be your top picks right now with short-term capital recovery in mind. I am becoming increasingly negative on buy and hold. Damn that Black Swan...wish he would move on to another victim.
thanks for your input,
Bob

Q: Hey Folks - Can I please get your analysis on Alexandria Real Estate - What do think of its balance sheet, growth prospects, risk, and price? I want some exposure to US real estate, so if you have a preferred option, I’m open to that.
By the way, you had an article about Sure Dividend in the latest Moneysaver magazine. Do you endorse this firm and their products?

Q: I currently don't have any REITs in my income portfolio but am now considering adding a couple. I was considering the above 4 but really want to add only 2 names. Which would you consider or would you suggest something else? Looking for reasonable income with an eye on preserving capital during rising interest rates.
