Q: Hello 5i Team
Firm Capital Apartment REIT (FCA.UN / FCA.U) is a small cap Canadian REIT focusing on the US multi-residential market.
1 - How does it compare to the other US focused residential REITs trading on the Canadian Markets? Specifically compared to BSR REIT (HOM.UN / HOM.U), Flagship Communities REIT (MHC.U) and the closed end fund Starlight U.S. Multi-Family (No.1) (SCPO.UN)? Most of these REITs pay their distribution in US dollars and trade in both C$ and US$ on the Canadian Exchanges.
2 – Would Tricon Residential (TCN) be a better choice, even though it is a corporation (versus a REIT) and has a lower yield?
3 – Would it be better to research the US listed residential REITs and select a suitable candidate?
Thankyou

Q: I have no utilities exposure. I want to add 1 Company. I was looking at Fortis because I believe they are your favourite given their size and history of dividend increases. They currently are mostly electricity delivery (<90%) with some renewables and fossil fuel. By 2035 they expect to increase renewables from 2% to 7%. That seems like a long time for such a small increase. They are eliminating their fossil fuel generation. If I prefer to invest in a utility with more of a focus on renewables, would AQN or BEP.UN be a better bet. Shouldn't they do better as renewables become 'trendier'? Which do you prefer out of AQN and BEP.UN. BEP.UN has had quite a run recently.

Q: Hi Peter,
My rationale for buying Becton Dickinson (joint replacements) still makes sense to me, and I understand that these types of surgeries are down now, but looking forward should surge. That said, it has performed very poorly over recent months and Stryker, which I understand to be a similar company, has done quite well. Can you explain the divergence? Would you suggest I hang onto (or even add to BDX) or should I admit that I picked the wrong stock and would be better switching to SYK. Thank you!

Q: Hi team,
I recently sold a stock at a loss in my TFSA. Can I buy the same stock in my non-registered account now or do I have to wait the 30 days period required by CRA to avoid a penalty ?
Gratefully,

Q: Hi 5i Team - With the very big jump in The Score share price over the past couple of days. I am considering trimming my position. However before I do this could you please send me an update on its fundamentals. In particular what are its present revenue and earnings and how much of that, if any, comes from the gaming sector. How much increase in revenue/earnings might occur should the new legislation go through.

Also how long do you think it might take for this legislation to take effect, once it has passed. It is my understanding that each province will then need to make their own decision on whether to allow single sport gaming. Is this an accurate assessment?

Finally I'm not quite sure of what single sport gaming means. Could you please elaborate on this and what it means for The Score.

Thanks again for the excellent service that you provide!

Rob
