Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hello,
I have owned Starwood Property Trust Inc (STWD) for a while, and it has been flat up to now. It provides a 9% yield.

Is this a buy, sell or hold stock? Especially since interest rates are rising. (I thought higher interest rates would benefit this company.) As I am seeing other stocks with better growth potential, I am wondering if this stock is worth holding onto.

Thank you for your help and for the service. Greatly appreciated.

Q: Buy and hold Canadian dividend stocks, forever, is my core strategy, and I dislike reits as I regard them as inferior long term securities. That said I am considering CAR.U because I like the exposure to apartment real estate What is your very long term view of this security decades out. Could it potentially morph into a common stock many, many years out and do you view it as a worthwhile hold for that time frame.

Q: I currently own small positions in CRT & CHP which seem to be lying fairly dormant. To get a bit more momentum, I am considering switching these to REI . Is this a good strategy. My thinking is that mall owners may be switching to condo development as online shopping increases.

Many thanks, as always.

Q: Do you follow income trusts? If you do, what is your opinion of Capital Direct? The company advertises high yearly income returns (over 7%). Just wondering if it is a legitimate company to invest in.

Thanks
