Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Hello 5i team,
I would like to purchase a few REITS through my RRSP account since I currently have non. I was thinking of purchasing one of the listed REITs that you suggested in a previous question and maybe an ETF (if they exist).

Of the REITs (CSH, HR, CAR) which one has the best dividend/growth? I figured a REIT that goes across the country would be the best.

Also do REIT ETFs exist? If so are there some that possible cover commercial properties only?

Thank you,
Andrew

Q: FAR has been showing some improvement over the past year. Earnings are improving (though still negative), P/B, P/S and P/CF look good, and debt seems manageable (~50%), although margins and ROA, ROE, ROI etc. are still terrible. It is only covered by one analyst, but the rating is Strong Buy. I bought speculatively when there was some minor insider buying and am currently showing a small profit. I'm debating whether to continue holding should a mining / energy sector rise float this boat. Thoughts?

Q: I am a retired, conservative, dividend-income investor with a well balanced portfolio. I am considering a switch from CJ into PEY.

For background, I own full positions in ALA, AQN, FTS, TRP and half positions in WCP and CJ.

RBC has had an Outperform rating on CJ for several quarters, but it has been lagging. Should I give it more time?

Is PEY a better fit into my portfolio, for diversification of gas vs oil, small vs mid vs large cap, and consistent long term growth?

Thanks, Steve

Q: Hi 5i. In April of 2015, you discussed Cdn Dividend ETF's, and suggested that because CDZ (iShares Cdn Div Aristocrats) focused on Co's that regularly increase dividends, that it outperforms other Cdn. Div. ETF's, particularly over the long term.
Do you still consider this view to be valid, particularly as it compares to XDV (iShares Cdn. Select Div. ETF) and ZDV (BMO Cdn. Div. ETF). Thanks T.
