Q: This looks like an interesting REIT which buys income-generating auto dealerships. Seems to provide good payouts and cash flows seem good so far.
Would you see this as a income stock or is it more of a growth stock ?
The way they acquire dealerships makes it appear like a growth stock. Your views please.
Q: Good morning 5i team,
I am 72, have no private pension, a diversified portfolio (50/50 asset mix RRIF included; no real estate holdings other than my residence), with a 10-year "quality" bond ladder in my RRIF to cover CRA withdrawals. I have funds available in my RRIF, and am considering an investment in REI for income and long-term capital appreciation. I would appreciate your thoughts, and any suggestions other than REI to achieve income and some growth in the RRIF.

Q: Hi
Please comment on DIR.UN, and REIT’s in general.
The market doesn’t like our ‘ bond proxies’ ( Utilities, Telcos, Pipes etc). So, where to hide? DIR.UN has held up pretty well over the past month and the 7%+ yield is tempting.
Thanks
Frank
Q: Good morning 5i.
What is your price target
for American Hotel Income Properties HOT.un
1 year out ?
How would you rate the quality
of continued high distributions ,
vs its cash flow payout ?
Are there any other Hotel Property names that you like?
Thank you
Barry from Montreal.
Q: So would you sell the entire holdings of REF or keep the units of CHP? This transaction (if I sell the entire holding) will reduce my exposure to REITS in my portfolio by 50% to a little over 2%. Would you beef that up a bit and if so, what REIT would you pick up (other than HR)?
Q: Big drop in the stock today but i have seen nothing that would account for this. Have i missed something here. Seems like a pretty big drop for no news. Your thoughts?
Q: Whit REITs under pressure as of late, how do you view this DRG.UN with all it's investments in European office properties. It has renegotiated it's debt quite well and exited from it's over reliance on Deutsch Telekom in the last 2 years.
Compared to RioCan, H&R and Canadian REIT for example.
Q: With the buyout at $8.10; the market breaking $8.00 and monthly dividends to continue are their any metrics involved beside the market slide? I own it but sold it at $8.12 and bought back in at $8.07 to continue wth the distribution short term.
Q: Good Evening
I own a Cominar bond maturing in 2022. I realize that DBRS has rated this company below investment grade (BBHigh).
Recently an analyst has commented that if you buy a high yield bond from Cominar " is like going to a casino and putting your money on the roulette wheel. It’s a terrible idea and makes no sense. The company has had to cut its distribution in the last 12 months."
Do you share the concerns of the above analyst? In your view, will Cominar have difficulties in meeting their obligations to the bondholders?
Would you advise holding or selling this bond?
As always, I appreciate your comments.
Q: Having sold Pure Industrial, I am looking at replacing it with industrial or perhaps office. (I already have enough retail and apartment exposure.) I have looked at Dream Industrial but am concerned with its small market cap. Also, the 25% ownership by Dream Office seems unusual and I wonder whether it is a red flag.
What are your top recommendations in the office and industrial segments?
In particular, what do you think of Granite REIT? Do you think that the outcome of the dissident shareholder dispute is positive?
