Q: I only own one Reit which is Slate Retail Reit. Nice dividend but little movement in stock price. What would be your three favorite Reits? And where does Slate Reit fit into your picks or does it? Thanks so much. Lorraine

Q: Was thinking REITS might be a good place to look for income right about now. I own Tricon and TGF.UN for about 2.5% of my PF and for domestic REITs HR.UN and SRU.UN for 2% of my PF. Are there any REITS that seem particularly attractive to you right now?

TIA

Q: In an almost zero percent interest rate environment what sense does this new direction make? I agree with eliminating the DRIP as it made no sense to issue new equity at the current unit price but the distribution cut and selling properties seems to be misguided. Payout was below 100% prior to this cut. Your thoughts please.

Q: Looking to increase REIT exposure. With growth and income as the objective, which is the better play for 3-year hold?

Q: Lots of changes. They seem to be raising a lot of liquidity; selling assets, cutting dividend, stopping DRIP, and increasing credit facility. Doesn't seem to make sense. Do you think there are skeletons in the closet that are not apparent that they are preparing for? Could things be worse than they look? Or are they eyeing opportunities? Would you be a buyer?

Q: Your analysis, please. Down almost 80% from its highs, but Full-year gross revenue up 18% to $6.0 billion; fee revenue up 17% to $5.2 billion; Adjusted Earnings Per Share of $10.01 up 26% reported at the beginning of this month. What am I missing, why is this down so much more than the rest of the market?

Q: Peter and Team,

I've owned KBL K-bro Linen for three years or so and have seen a nice increase in value and a healthy dividend. Its seems to have plateaued and stayed steady lately (which is fine!) but I am wondering if I could get better return by switching my 4.6% weighting in KBL to CSH instead. Thoughts?

Q: I've held this for about 6 months. My cost is $ 22 per share and it's at $11.80 as of today. I have 8-10 years so I'm not in a hurry to sell. RBC seems very positive on the name. They have target of $ 25 and released a new update this morning. What are your thoughts ?

Q: Do you know BPY.UN took such a nose dive since January 2016 that saw its SP went from $32 to now $26 (almost 19% in about a month and a half)?

Earnings for the year came out on 2/05/2016 and it was solid though not outstanding, any speculations here?
