Q: Good Afternoon,
I have owned Killam for a while. There has been no appreciable growth or dividend increase. What is the likelihood of either happening. Would I be better off selling Killam and purchasing another stock? If so, what stock would you suggest that would offer some growth and a good dividend. There is no tax implications as I hold Killam in my TFSA.
Thanks in advance for your opinion.

Q: Can you explain Dreams announcement at the close today. It seems DIR has done a bought deal of 12.5M shares at a price of $14.20 (a little below todays close) to raise money which they will then use to buy back 12.5M A class preferred shares? This is a confusing one, why would they do this? Also will this hurt the regular DIR share price since its diluting the shares? Would you buy or is this a bad move? Thx

Q: I am considering adding this stock to my portfolio in a size that would be about 3% of the total. I have not held and real estate for a while and this would be a first step back into that segment. Your views on Granite please and what are 3 other real estate alternatives and how do you rank them vs Granite. Take as many question credits as appropriate.

Q: I am considering adding some real estate to my portfolio. I expect interest rates to remain relatively steady or drop slightly over the next two years. Do you think now is a good time to purchase a REIT or is there more potential downside as the interest rates on their debt resets higher as the debt matures? I am specifically looking at residential real estate companies. Of the above companies which one or two do you prefer and why? Is there a real estate sector you would prefer over residential?

Q: NTR's SP has been hit hard of late. Is this just a usual market panic or there is substance behind this set back. I'm sitting on the sideline with some cash and is debating if I should add to my current position (still up almost 65%) or add to my DIR.UN position (currently at an 8% loss).

NTR currently yields about 3% and DIR.UN about 5%. However I'm more interested in growth and less so than yield. Your advice? Thanks.

Q: How do you see the real estate sector performing over the next 12-18 months? In an otherwise balanced portfolio, I currently have no real estate holdings. Would you suggest I add here and - if yes - would you opt for RIT or DIR.UN? It would be a 3% total weighting. Alternatively, I could purchase either OTEX, EIF or PRMW. Looking for a combination of growth with a fair-sized dividend and moderate risk. What would recommend - and in what order (strongest first)? Thank you.

Q: REIT's are looking interesting at these prices. If you were to invest in only 1 REIT, can be US or Canada. With the thesis being you want to capitalize on the punished sector and get a quality name that has been beaten up and has a lot of upside versus a low risk name that hasn't come down much that will likely not have a ton of upside either. Which reit would you chose to invest in? Thx

Q: I am debating taking a half position in MRU and EMP-A or a full position in DIR-UN. The two grocery stores are down a bit but will there not be consumer pressure to keep prices reasonable which could influence profits? I have no idea! What would the experts at 5i suggest here?
