Q: I'm confused about the price action of FSV today as opposed to CIGI. Both derive most of their income from the property sector, though in different ways. Yet FSV is down over 5% today while CIGI is up almost 10%. Since I've seen no company specific news I'm assuming this is in response to the vaccine news. What I can't figure out is how CIGI comes out so far ahead with a vaccine but FSV will lose out.

Q: Hello 5i,

Our portfolio has 1% in each of CAR.UN, IIP.UN, and KMP.UN. Of the three IIP has seen a major correction. Is there a specific reason for the weakness in IIP compared to the other two? Would you be adding to the above positions now or wait until tax season is over?

Cheers,
Debbie and Jerry

Q: You knew it would happen but I wish it had been at a premium to the pre covid price and not the current price.... I've been a longtime holder and done OK, it has paid a solid div for me over the years and I was happy with the post BIP spike last year. I sold today at the premium over the offer as I agree with you that BIP doesn't need to sweeten anything with control. Unlikely in this market and that space that a white night will come in. So my question is what should I do with the cash? I dont hold any brookfield's so buying BIP is an option or do you have a better brookfield option. I am overweight financial already so doesn't need to be in the same sector. Overall well balanced so could be anything...balanced portfolio follower slowly shifting to income.

Q: CAR.UN seems to be struggling. I hold it in an unregistered account at a loss position. I also hold DIR.UN. Am thinking of selling CAR.UN, waiting 30 days and then re-buying or just adding the sale funds to increase DIR.UN. Don't hold any other REITs in my cash account, but have other REITs in RSP account. I am thinking that CAR.UN will need some time to recover and that it will be very slow over time. Do you agree? Would you wait longer to rebuy?
Question 2 is regarding DOCU. Would you consider it still a buy at current levels for a 5 year + hold.
Thanks for your input.

Please indicate any clear winners or losers in the rankings

Thanks for all you do
