Q: Could you compare Morguard( MRC) and First Capital Realty (FCR)? They both get a B+, and have very different client bases and dividends.

Do you have any concerns about FCR being a mall landlord in times when e-retailing is on the rise?

Thank you all! I wish we could get such straight talk from our politicians!

Q: Hi 5i Team
Would you consider LW Leisureworld more likely than Chartwell to have growth over the next few years. How secure do you think the 7% dividend of LW is? Do you think this sector is desirable in a portfolio for RRSP with years to grow.Thanks

Q: I am curious what youthink of the Q1 results just reported for MOB. I like the very accretive pipeline, the growth in affo/unit and the fact the ceo owns 80% of the shares - so he is clearly aligned. I was concerned however that debt ratio is up around 63% and POR grew to 101%. What do you think?
