Q: I currently don't have any REIT exposure and think I should focus on a broad ETF for more safety and diversification as opposed to some of the smaller cap REIT's I have previously held although they do have much higher yields I am concerned about the risk exposure. Would this be a good time to start a position in ZRE and/or do you have another suggestion?
Thanks,
Craig

Q: Hi there,
I currently own both these companies however i am wondering if its work switching to Artis (AX.un) given the cheaper evaluation and its expansion outside of Alberta. Looks like the worst is behind it but just wondering if its worth the switch. Look for a bit of growth and yield.
Thanks

Q: Given that AAR.UN has been purchased for a reported price of 8.10 per unit and there appear little reason why this deal will fail can you suggest a reason why the units trade somewhat below 8.10. The fact that a substantial distribution continues to be paid would leave me to expect the trading price should be above 8.10 by the value of the distribution. Actually I wish this deal would fail, it is a tremendous company.

Q: There is always the debate about investment in real estate versus the market. I lean towards the market. If one is to buy a rental property you get better leverage with a mortgage. Your income is from rental from which taxes and maintenance must be deducted. Liquidity is not as good as in the stock market. On the other hand you could buy a good REIT if you wish to stay with property and let someone else do the work and rely on capital gain and dividends and have liquidity. Can you suggest some REITs in which to invest.

The classic example of the thirty year track record Royal Bank where the price went from $3 to near $100 and a dividend of $3 so the stock appreciated by 33 times and the dividend is 100%. You can't touch that with real estate.

Your comment.
