Q: Hello Peter & Ryan,
Thank you for our great return on ECI, I bought it a week or so before Brookfield buy-out.
Your opinion on re-arrange my TFSA currently holdings 4 stocks DRG.UN, MFC, RY & HLF . We did well with the first three and loss 40% HLF (small position of 300 shares). We have 4 years hold in mind
1) Replace DRG.UN with CHP.UN
2) Double down on HLF small position loss about 40% or replace with RSI or ATD.B
3) Replace MFC with a combo ALA & ENB or FTS & AQN
4) Replace RY with CIX & BNS

And add small position in TSGI or GUD


Thank you and keep the good work!

Q: I have held AX.UN for quite some time. and I am up on it, solely through the DRIP. Would you recommend holding, and continuing to just build my gains from the dividend, or is there another real estate stock that would be better for the long term. My other real estate holdings are CHP.UN, FSV & CIGI.
Thanks

Q: I presently own REF in my RRSP (4%) - with the aquisition by CHP would it be advisable to keep the merged position or sell and replace. If I replace - what REIT looks good at the moment? I also have a position in AX (2.5%). Should I sell before the close or wait for another competing offer? If I don't by a replacement REIT what looks good in it's place?

Thank You

Q: I currently own small positions in CRT & CHP which seem to be lying fairly dormant. To get a bit more momentum, I am considering switching these to REI . Is this a good strategy. My thinking is that mall owners may be switching to condo development as online shopping increases.

Many thanks, as always.

Q: Following your comments about retail REITs a few days ago, I reviewed my REIT holdings and my only retail REIT is CHP.UN. Their properties are almost exclusively Loblaws-branded grocery stores, with a small mix of other retailers. My view in buying this a few years ago is that people have to eat, but at that time there was really no alternative like the recent Amazon move. What is your view of CHP.UN in general, and would you continue to hold it for income.

Thank-you

Q: Hi 5i, I have been slowly adding to my portfolio. So far it is all held in a TFSA with long term in mind. The listed companies are the current holdings (I don't know weighted percents off hand). Can you please recommend maybe 2-3 other companies or funds that would help to round out my portfolio? I plan to make regular contributions for the long term. All available DRIP's are being utilized as well to further growth. Do you see any current major issues with the current holdings?

Thanks 5i! Keep up the great work, you're much appreciated!
