Investment Q&A

Q: In my TFSA I am looking to move it to a more growth oriented stance. In keeping with this I have added ENGH and LSPD already. In what order would you sell the above (other than LSPD and ENGH)? I could sell off whole positions or just reduce the holdings either is fine. Any reasoning behind the ranking would be useful too.

Q: Would appreciate it very much ranking the above based on your expectation of total return over 3 to 5 years period. I wish to consolidate these number into less positions. In particular I am thinking of selling FCR at a loss and perhaps add to GRT.un or one of the others,

Thanks

Q: Please rate four REITS above for 5 year hold. #1 best, and reasons for choice. Any you would not recommend. I hold SRU.UN & REI.UN All in TFSA. Use dividend yearly for income.
Thanks..Cec.

Q: What is your view on BTB.UN.
Should I ride it out or sell/move on? Currently down 37%. 1% of porfolio.

Q: Could you comment on TNT.UN and BTB.UN. I understand tnt has federal government contracts ?

Q: Could I please get your in-depth analysis on the above companies? How sustainable would there dividends be during a business downturn in a low rate environment?

Q: Hi,

In an otherwise well balanced portfolio, with a slight tilt towards growth I do hold the above REITs for income. As part of a new investing philosophy (to me) I'm aiming to reduce my equity positions from 33 to 23 over this year. Thus, I need to sell one of the above and re-invest the proceeds in the other three. With an eye towards income preservation (ie. sustainability of dividend) and growth, which of the above do I sell?

Q: Is the future of this company strong. Dividend seems high. Is is sustainable.?

Q: Could you please give me any insight you have on the recent spike of BTB.UN over the last two months.

Q: Hi Folks,

I'm seeking any insight you might be able to provide me with regarding the probable long term viability of BTB's current dividend. In answer to a prior question, a fellow 5i subscriber submitted, you indicated that you would be more comfortable with BTB's dividend if the payout ratio were to drop below 90%. Do you know if it may have now dropped to or below that level and if so, do you suspect that the very generous 8.37% yield the company pays may be "safe" for the foreseeable future?

Lastly, is this a firm you might consider investing up to 5% of your assets in, if you were 62 years of age and on the cusp of retiring? By the way, I suspect that I will require a sustainable yield of 6%, that will at least keep pace with inflation over the next 5 years, in order to be able to retire before I reach 65.

Thank you!

Q: What would be your top picks of the above reits? Would you switch any of them out for DIR.UN or CAR.UN or DRG.UN?

Q: Your view on earnings.
Tom

Q: Comments please on recent quarter,,

Q: What are your thoughts on these REITs going forward with respect to growth and dividend sustainability? How would you rank them?

Q: Is this a good stock to buy at this time? How safe is the dividend?
Thanks Wayne

Q: How would BTB.UN rate in the real estate space. Is this a buy?

Q: Hi,

I'll be managing my spouse's account in the next month or so. One of the reasons we'll be managing it ourselves it is that our current manager does not take a balanced approach to portfolios, thus she has about a 25% weighting in REITs. Below are the REITs she holds, can you prioritize them in terms of what to hold or sell? Each of the below is between 2 and 4% of our portfolio value and we don't need the income.

Northwest Healthcare
BTB REIT
Extendicare
Dream Office
Northview Apt
Slate Office REIT
One REIT (which is being bought out I understand)

Thx.

Q: Hi 5i team, I'm looking to add one more name in the real estate sector. I currently have BTB Reit, Artis Reit and the etf XRE. Could you please suggest a few ideas. What are your favourite reits at this time and would you replace any of my current holdings? Thanks. Mario.

Q: With Cuf.un's downturn and payout ratio,though smaller would BTB.UN provide more stabilty in the income going forward. r

Q: Team 5i, would you kindly rank these 4 REITs? I just turned 64 and now want to focus more on Dividends and Asset Protection as opposed to Growth. I like the High Yields. Are they safe? Any other suggestions are most welcome.

Thanks as always!
