Q: There is little information I can find on Mainstreet Equity MEQ which has been doing well since you last commented in January. Could you please give us your valuable assessment of the company? Thanks for your advice. I have learned a lot since subscribing to 5iresearch.

Q: hello - I'm going to use one of my questions for a friend Through his employment he has ended up with Edgewater REIT and doesn't know what to do. I see in May you had an initial review of this new REIT. Since then there has been a secondary offering, no insider buying (at least in the market place).

Would you provide an updated review I would be able to share with him.

Q: ACC Amica Mature Lifestyles The last time a Q was asked about ACC it had just bounced off a 4 year low. You liked it for income. Here it is hitting a new low. At some point there has to be a capital gain opportunity along side a juicy yield. Are we there yet?

TIA

Q: Hello 5I, is this new offer from InnVest "good enough" to accept in your opinion? ("InnVest") (TSX:INN.UN) announced today that it intends to increase the purchase price under its existing offer to purchase up to $28,750,000 of the outstanding principal amount of its Series G Convertible Unsecured Subordinated Debentures (the "Debentures") from $1,060 to $1,080 (the "Increased Offer Price") for each $1,000 in principal amount (the "Offer"), and proposes to amend the conversion price for each InnVest unit to be issued upon the conversion of one Series G Debenture under the trust indenture governing the Debentures to $7.50 rather than the $8.00 originally proposed (the "Indenture Amendments").
Thank you

Q: Hello 5i Team,

I have a 2% starting position in GRT.UN which I'm thinking to bring up to a full position of ~5%. Today I am just over 15% in REITs. Being retired I look more for income than growth.

Looking at past comments on this stock I see it has not been commented for some time. Could you provide a review of its current status?
Thanks,
Ronald

Q: Greetings: Many REITs are trading below book value ie: cheap, bargin basement territory with good yields. If interest rates rise and REITs have their debt under control why does the REIT price fall? If interest rates rise because of inflation expectations and an improving economy, REITs have the ability to raise rents faster then inflation thus acting as a hedge against rising rates BUT the opposite has happened. Where is the flaw in this logic? Thank You

Q: I am considering an investment in Morguard MRC. Currently I have 3% of the portfolio in REI.UN and HR.UN. In your recent report you concluded MRC's returns make up for the yield and the valuation provides downside risk. Comparing the 3 stocks, over a 5 year period would you expect MRC's returns to be significantly higher than the other 2(capital appreciation and dividend combined)? Would you agree with putting half the current holding into MRC and which of the other 2 would you keep.
Many thanks for your considered opinion
Mike
