Q: To maintain monthly or quarterly income during this period of uncertainty, I am planning to invest in more stable entities - namely Real Estate in Canada. My thoughts are for Apartment Rental Housing and Seniors Housing. Would appreciate your choices for the most stable as well as yield. Thank you.

Q: Hi Peter & Ryan, I’m very light in the healthcare sector after recently selling JNJ. I rely on dividends to supplement my pension income and was looking at DR:CA, EXE:CA and SIA:CA. Can you please comment on each of these, quality of the companies, management, safety of the dividend etc. Feel free to suggest other names not listed Canadian or US. Dividend payers preferred. ( I already hold csh.un and used to own sis). Thanks. Mario

Q: Hi Team, My question is why Chartwell- CSH.UN is considered to be in the Real Estate/ Reit sector (in your company profiles) while Sienna Living - SIA is considered to be in the Health Care sector? I have always considered both to be in the Health Care/ Long Term Care business and hold sector % accordingly. Should I reallocate CSH.UN to my Real Estate sector? Appreciate your thoughts. Thanks.

Q: 1:03 PM 2/24/2019
I am increasingly concerned about the financial stability and credit quality of several of my investments.
Could you please provide the S&P or DBRS issuer rating or bond rating of : ENB, TRP, PKI, BCE, CSW.A, AW.UN, SIA.
This information is very difficult for me to find and is often quite dated. Could you suggest a source I could use.
Thank you........... Paul K

Q: Are FSV, CIGI, SIA, and CSH.UN considered to be REITS? I would like to increase my REIT exposure and I would appreciate recommendations on 2 or 3 that you believe to be reasonably priced now for growth rather than income. Do you consider ownership in property to be counted as part of an exposure to REITs?

Q: I'm considering starting a position in SIA or CSH.un for a long term hold (5+ yrs) based on aging demographics etc. On a total return basis which do you think is the better play in a cash account?

Q: My first question as a rather new subscriber! I am 7 y into RRIF withdrawals so wish mostly dividend stocks in this portfolio. I have held EXE since May, 2015 and am now barely $1300 above (all in dividends and share value) as of today. I have read your comments about "quality trade off" and "weak hold for income"with regards to holding EXE instead of SIA and / or CSH.UN. You have commented that EXE debt is about 10 times cash flow. Could you give me similar information about SIA and CSH.UN please. I am about ready to sell EXE for positions in both or either of SIA and CSH.UN (in spite of them having lower dividends and earnings per share and higher P/E). Comments appreciated.

Q: I'm looking for a healthcare stock to ride out the next couple of years - where I expect a recession - in relatively low volatility, high dividend stocks. I have no CDN healthcare. Can you give me a list of two stocks or efts you like?

Q: Notice 5i holds CSH.UN in the Income Portfolio but would you not consider SIA a better income investment in the same business or does the .UN make a difference?

thx
