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: Would you agree that interest rate hikes, real and expected, have lead to multiples compressing on Reits, including apartment and industrial, which are my two favorite areas in this sector. What do you think of Minto Apartment reit going forward, thanks, Ed
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: What is wrong with this company? It is now hitting 52 week low. What are future prospects? Is this a sell, hold or average down name? Is the dividend safe?
Q: I own this ETF. Down 24%. Not particularly concerned given the overall market. But I do not understand how the industrial real estate sector is expected to perform in the current environment. What is your outlook for this sector? Thanks for your help.
David
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.
Q: Retired dividend-income investor. I have a half position in ZRE in my Cash account.
I am looking to add to ZRE using my wife's monies, which are available in any of her Cash, RRSP or TFSA accounts. Please rank the order of which account ZRE should reside and why.
Q: CSH.UN has dropped a lot and is now at the price it was in 2012. can I get your opinion on its debt level, its safety during a recession as well as the safety of its dividend? Do you think it is a time to add one's position?
thanks
Q: I am concerned about the European holdings and the auto industry in a recession. So, I am considering selling Granite and replacing it with Nexus or Summit. because I still like the industrial space What do you think? Thanks
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
