Q: Hi my question today is on REITs. I started to buy these three reits as they are under .9 tb ratio. value. Because of there much lower price the dividend is awesome. This pandemic is the reason for there price reduction. Are they over sold and probably the next sector (industrial reit) to bounce back ? The people that are renting there property ex;Walmart are doing ok. If not a good time to buy when is ?

Q: I intend to buy DIR.UN, IIP.UN and CAR.UN. I do not need the income, I would buy them because you have recommended them in the past and I need some diversification into the real estate sector. My question is, given that their distributions can be R of C, foreign income, and other income, are they best purchased in a TFSA or RRSP, rather than in a non-registered account?

Q: These are the property Reits that I have. I am down with Dream. As the economy struggles and the ability to pay rent increases, what is your thought at this time? I could see a sell and reentry later, but perhaps this is a poor move. Appreciate your thoughts....

Q: Hi,
I am interested in DIR but not totally sure what qualifies as "industrial" / how affected it is from the economy. Is industrial mostly amazon type delivery stuff? I'm just trying to figure out how much COVID impacts DIR... because amazon/online shipping seems to be fine (other than people spending less due to having less money), but what other uses are industrial?

Would you suggest switching CSH (even at a loss) to DIR at this time?

Thank you as always

Q: I would like your help putting together a yield portfolio of between 15 and 20 names.
This would be the entire investments for my wife and I. We are both retired and now live full-time in the U.S. And at some point I expect my Canadian newspaper pension to disappear, so I am looking to replace that money.
I would like your opinion of the above names with regard to safety of the income and overall diversification.
I would also appreciate some additional ideas and would like to know if I`m off base on any or all of these names.
I am currently only invested in CM, BNS and BMO and DIR.UN.
Please take 20 credits (or more).
Thank you in advance for your invaluable assistance.

Q: Hi,

Do you agree that many REITS and utility companies are historically way overvalued considering their lack of growth?
If I was to invest in REITS and utility companies for the next few years, could u pick 2 REITS you like for US and 2 for CDN exposure?
Could you also pick two utility companies you like for US and 2 for CDN exposure?
