Q: MPW pays a dividend of some 7%. I do hold a small position and am wondering if I should maintain or exit. I like the yield but in the past I have not had capital appreciation success with "high yield" stocks and usually ended with a net loss. I don't see any reason to exit except the high yield is telling me the market knows something I do not. Am I "over-reacting" ? Thanks John

Q: I have held NWH for several years at about a 2% position, and am considering adding another 1-1.5%. While I have been pleased with the performance/dividends over the years, I am also looking at MPW, which would add some $US, pays a better dividend, is larger and is more US-oriented. Could you compare the two stocks in terms of debt, P/NAV, dividend sustainability, payout, etc, and comment on whether you think they would complement each other to some degree (or is it more of the same). Buy MPW or more NWH, or is the position getting a little large in a specialized area?
Thank-you

Q: I have been watching this stock for quite some time and read your comments to Greg. A so so earnings report and it has a p/e of 46.40 with expected 10% earnings growth. With this type of market and these figures , I am staying away. I like the company but am looking for much lower price. Your thoughts? Thanks.

Q: After reading your report on InterRent REIT, I'm looking into it further. I currently hold NWH but am looking for more growth in both the distribution and unit price (NWH hasn't increased the distribution in a long time, and the unit price hasn't grown that much).

I see that all of InterRent's 2021 distribution was ROC so all tax-deferred. Is this expected to continue? If so, that's a great benefit as I'm holding in a taxable account.

Q: Hi, for higher income and safety of distribution could you please list 4 or 5 attractive REITS. Growth is not a concern, just income and relative security. Thanks.

Q: I think you would consider these two as being solid companies. Both have pulled back in recent months. Are they different enough to own both. If only one, which one, with a brief explanation please.

Thanks

Q: For income and some safety, do you see anything not to like about these four REITs?

Thanks as always.

Q: I like this space. which of these (if any) would you recommend, and why? AMT, CCI, SBAC
Read Answer Asked by Tim on July 19, 2022
Q: I would like you to compare AMT and CCI. Do you think either of them work in this environment, and if so which would you prefer for a long term hold. I note that CCI has a higher yield but I am also curious about their growth prospects.
Thanks for your advice.

Q: Perhaps a bit out of your ballpark, but related to thoughts about bond markets.

I am currently on a floating mortgage which was very attractive a couple of years ago. That is going up, of course, but locking in would be about 2-3% higher.

You can't predict the future, but what do you see as the wise choice here? Stick with the floating rate or bite the bullet and lock in for the next 3-4 years?

Q: Currently, Invesque 6% convertible debentures series V are trading at about $83 US ( on the TSX). They mature on 30-Sep-2023 at $100, i.e. about 15 months from now.
This corresponds to a fabulous annualized Yield to Maturity of roughly 21%.
In your opinion, what is the risk that Invesque will default in the payment of these debentures? Does this seem to be a good risk to reward?
Thanks!

Q: Hi,
I plan to sell my XLRE to raise US$ to add to some of my other US holdings that have been beaten up. For another real estate type holding which do you think is a better choice TCN or FSV? This can be held for 7-10 years till retirement.
Thanks,
Kerri
