Q: Hi there,

I am trying to reduce my exposure to interest rate sensitive REITS and find myself struggling where to reduce my weighting. My weighting has been inching up to close to 24% of my portfolio based on the good performance of a couple of my US holdings. I currently own REI.un, HR.un, AMT.un and BXP.un. I am currently leaning towards reducing REI given the continued good perfomance of both AMT and BXP. Your thoughts?

Q: I have a little bit of MKP and I noticed that it has been in consistent price range for a long time. It has a nice dividend 8.3%. Do you think it is a good candidate for a full position for someone just looking for income?

Thanks,
Charlie

Q: Hello 5i,

My CAN/US REIT portfolio needs some rebalancing and I'm thinking of buying National Health Investor (NHI)or Health Care REIT (HCN). I already hold HCP(HCP)therefore think NHI is the better choice here. What are your thoughts on this. I like to buy stocks for the long term with stability and some growth in mind, cuts down on maintenance.
Thanks,

Q: Hi,
I was wondering if you can give your opinion on DRA.UN. It trades at a significant discount to NAV and don't really have any analyst coverage. It seems to be an interesting way to diversify from regular stocks and bonds.

Q: What do you anticipate for the 4th Quarter report for this REIT ? After a steady decline in price in 2014, the past 3 months shows a steady price around $4.00. This stock is rated 8 out of 10 by Thompson Reuters, and there has been strong insider buying over the past year. Yet most analysts rank it as a hold due to high payout. Your call ?

Q: Thank you for your cautionary note in your reply to my REITs question. May I assume you meant AX.UN - Artist - as one of your recommendations?
Thanks.

Q: REIT pricing looks especially attractive after today's price declines. I have six REITs that I purchased six years ago and would like to hold them for life. Now, I am looking at adding to my weighting to bring it to 15% from 10%. I know there may be minor further damage when rates rise but the average dividend is now well over seven percent. What do you think and which would be your top three names in this environment? Thanks.
Steven
