Q: I have about a 4.25% weighting in ORC. I have done fairly well on it. I understand that it comes with some risk. Just curious do you know much about this company? I was thinking of selling soon but the monthly dividend is hard to give up in US funds. If I did sell I would have over 10K to start a position on the NYSE. I was thinking MSFT, INTC or CSCO I already own DIS, SBUX, JNJ, SBR just to name a few in US Also I was thinking ABBV or Abbott. Just wondering about ORC and its risks Thanks

Q: Good Evening
I am going back to 2005 and note that D.UN has not cut their dividend for the last 11 years. The current yield though of over 10% suggests that a dividend cut may be in the cards. What is your opinion of this company? I am holding it for several years.
Do you recommend averaging down, holding or selling?
Do you anticipate a cut in the dividend?
Thank you

Q: Good morning 5i team!

I understand that the rental market (condos and apartments) continues to remain strong in the US and Canada due to housing affordability issues in both markets.

What are your thoughts on this macro trend in the housing markets and do you expect this trend to continue?

What is the best way to profit on this trend if it continues?
Can you please provide a few ideas in both the US and Canada (REITS,stocks etc.)?

Thanks once again for your unbiased independent investing perspective!!

Q: In the last Canadian MoneySaver Peter Lantos wrote an article on the benefits of investing in mortgages and points out that "big money" is heavily invested in real estate. Would REITs mimic the real estate and how does one invest in mortgages? Do companies such as FC qualify as mortgage investments? Thanks
