Q: I have been holding BIP.UN for several years. Does it make to sell it and buy BIPC to get tax advantage. BIPC is about 3.5% more expensive than BIP.UN, which has narrowed down significantly in the last couple of years. Why did the difference narrow down so much and can it narrow down even further? Thanks.

Q: I own these 3 REITs in my RRSP. I have done extremely well on them and I have reduced my positions. Given that they are REITs and have recovered nicely from the Covid lows, I am debating exiting the positions completely since their upside potential has been reduced. They will never have explosive growth and since they are no longer depressed does it make sense to exit the positions and look for opportunities elsewhere where there is more upside. The dividends are not that large so I don't feel I am missing out from an income perspective.

Thanks,
Jason

Q: Hello Peter,
Are there any issues with having BEP,UN in a TFSA? Is it similar to investing in any other dividend paying stocks in a TFSA ( in terms of receiving dividends ): there are no extra forms to fill out as it is a limited partnership.. Also, if the company is not profitable, what is the thesis of investing in it: great cash flow, part of BAM, and the right sector such as renewable energy. From a fundamental basis, is it better than investing in AQN or NPI?

Q: WPT Industrial REIT was bought by Blackstone on Oct 22, and I was surprised to see the breakdown of purchase details. Of the $22.00 purchase price, approx 19% was paid as disposition price and 81% as a giant dividend. This seems very unusual and costs the holder a chunk of money reflecting difference between dividend and cap gain taxation. I must say this seems unfair. Any comments?

Q: I bought the dip in MED after their last earnings call. I am currently down around 20%. It looks like it has stabilized somewhat, and might be on an uptrend. I was thinking of adding to my position, although I'm a bit hesitant to do it before their earnings call on Nov 4.
What's the best thing to do in this situation? Buy some now, and possibly add more after earnings come out? I know you like the stock. This is for my TFSA.

Thank you for all that you do.

Q: BAM.A is up 45.5% YTD. Is there anything you know of that would push BAM.A higher in the next 6 months?

This is one of those tricky / annoying timing questions! BAM.A is currently 8% of all our accounts, so I was thinking of selling 1% to boost our dividend income in an unregistered account. We have some losses from previous years to soften the capital gains.

Thanks!
