Q: Thy announced a sale of their 20% interest in the US multi-res portfolio for 315 million. The book value from their last annual report was 179 million so the book value was only 52% of the fmv. The use of funds to pay down debt and the evidence that the book value of the company is likely seriously discounted seems to make this company's shares a compelling value.

Q: Hi 5i:

I am concerned about the proposed taxation changes for REITs that are tabled in the government (Canadian). How do you think these changes will affect investment in the REITs and their equities?

Q: This has really sold off, but from what I hear the industrial sector is doing really strong/there is a lot of demand and not much supply (at least in Canada).

Is this general market weakness or is there something else going on? Do they say if a lot of their debt is fixed rate or floating/are they getting crushed by higher rates? I though most real estate managers used mostly fixed rate.

What do you think of it at this price?

Q: I hate asking market timing questions as much as you hate answering them but...I have always been a bit light on real estate and am wondering if now is a OK time to add a position in either xre or zre. Second question: You have XRE in the income portfolio, today would you stick with XRE or I was looking at ZRE that has outperformed XRE recently. My concern about timing is with rising interest rates and the jittery markets that I might be better off just parking in the banks or consumer deffensive and worrying about real estate in a few years,

Q: In May,U made the right move in trimming Zre at $25.35 as it is now $21.50. The Fed & Powell are very aggressive to increase rate to reduce inflation to some 2% & possible increase rate to 4.4% by year end from current 3.31%. Majority of my Reits are near or/at 1 year low. Is it time to sell? Txs for u usual great services & views
