Q: chartwell and sienna (sia) and extendicare (exe) have been trading well lately, their payout ratios and dividends and earnings look solid

is there any reason they cant continue to make new 52wk highs? are valuations too stretched in this space or does the growth that these stocks have deserve the valuations?

thanks

Q: Hi Folks

Could you comment on the recent earnings report as well as the recent share appreciation. The price seemed to be topping in February when they announced strong results from partially held Vital Trust. That seemed to provide the impetus for another up leg. I have a nice profit and I am wondering whether it is time to sell and switch to another REIT. Thanks

Q: Feel free to disregard is this question is outside the scope of what 5i offers.

My question surrounds investing in real estate. Many investors have heard that even if we buy into the stock market at its peak and there is a crash, we will still be up in the long term. Does the same apply to real estate? That is, should an investor attempt to time the real estate market? We live in Alberta and not sure when the best time it is to upgrade our home. I'm also curious if real estate should be viewed as a portion of one's portfolio.

Thanks!

Q: I understand that Crombie's tenant, Sobey's, is having difficulties integrating their acquisition of Safeway. Our informal observation here in BC is that the Safeway stores are less busy than in the past. Further, it appears that Sobey's has taken a significant impairment charge. With Sobey's being a tenant of Crombie REIT would you recommend that we sell CRR.UN and replace it with another name in the sector? If so, which REIT would you suggest?
With appreciation!

Q: I have heard that Sobey's is having integration problems with its Safeway acquisition. We have observed a marked drop in customers in Safeway stores in our part of BC since the acquisition. With Crombie REIT as the landlord for this chain would you recommend selling Crombie and purchasing an alternative in the REIT space. I do like income with a bit of growth.
With appreciation!

Q: Good morning,

I am looking for some stock suggestions in the US on how best to play the rental market particularly in some of the more expensive/popular real estate markets in the US ie San Francisco. My thesis the strong growth in real estate prices will result in the millenials choosing to rent in the more popular urban centres either by choice or necessity.
Can you comment on this thesis as an investment opportunity and provide your best equity ideas at this tine in US and Canada.

Thanks for the excellent service!
