Q: These companies have been drifting off their highs and am wondering if there is a particular reason for this; wondering if this is a good time to buy, or hold, and which you think have the best value and potential? Thanks!

Q: Hello 5i Team
Now that Sandpiper has reorganized the board of ARTIS, will appoint a new CEO effective January 01, 2020 and will proceed with their 100 day plan, I have the following questions:
1 – Is ARTIS REIT at the current price $10.89 a reasonable price to pay, provided ARTIS/Sandpiper can complete their 100 day plan and hopefully realize Sandpiper’s estimated NAV at $15.40?
2 – Are any of the three outstanding ARTIS preferred units (AX-PR-A, AX-PR-E and AX-PR-I) a better way to play this story?
3 – Any thoughts on other Canadian REITS that could be put into play by activist investors, given most of the undervalued REITs are majority controlled by the parent corporation (Melcor REIT, Morguard REIT etc.).
Thanks

Q: Hi 5i Team

I have AX.UN and NWH.UN and want to add a full position of a pure industrial reit. If you had to pick one of DIR.UN, GRT.UN or SMU.UN, which would it be and why? I'm primarily interested in dividends and their safety and growth potential. Alternatively, would you go for a 1/2 position of two?
Thanks
Peter

Q: Hi
As I was driving to my "empty" office unit, I heard on CBC Radio One, that there is pressure from some groups for the Health care REITs especially Senior's homes REITs like Siena to withhold the dividends because after all they are getting money from the Govt at this time to stay afloat and why should the Govt money go to pay the investors?! (my words)
Are the dividends at risk? The whole sector can take a BIG hit, if the dividends are withheld, no?
