Q: I am a young retiree and am not allergic to volatility. I own each of the above REITS in my RRSP or TSFA for tax purposes. They represent collectively 7% of my total portfolios including my taxable account. My taxable account holds a mix of growth and dividend paying companies. It's a rather large holding. I don't own bonds because I don't understand the first thing about bonds but currently own 23% in money market or Guarantied Cash Deposits. I would like to add to my revenue generating part and would like to tone the risk down a bit. Where would you go from here?

Thank you very much for your support.

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: Hi Peter and Staff
Recent questions on this REIT have met with no major concerns including quoting a reasonable pay out ratio. Scotia in their December 21st report quotes AFFO payout ratios of 107.7 % for 2018, 102.7% for 2019 and 97.4% for 2020.
What do you use in your payout ratios and how does that differ from AFFO?
Thanks for all you do
Dennis

Q: Greetings,
I am specifically interested in finding out about NWH & BIP but as a general "rule of thumb", are international holdings better held in RRSP accounts irrespective of them being listed on TSX?

Q: In this mornings G&M, there was an article by Sean Pugliese about Canadian REITs that included a table of interesting REIT data. According to Mr. Pugliese, the Debt/Equity ratio for NWH.UN is 324%. Do you agree with that number and, if you do, do you think that it jeopardizes the value of this REIT?

Q: I have 1% in NWH.un since a long while. Healthcare equity income as a long term hold. Their recent deal appear to provide them with safety and growth.
Looking to buy more. Do you think management could be given credit for their vision and operational execution, and how would you rate it now for income?
