Investment Q&A

Q: Earnings came out yesterday. Please comment. Would you hold or sell at this time? Thank you for your guidance.

Q: I am looking for other canadian residential reits to buy with my funds from selling TCN. I think with interest rates topping out and very possibly declining later this year, reits are a very good, safe place to invest. Can you suggest any other canadian residential reits that have good upside from here and give a decent dividend? I am thinking of ERE as well as HOM. Any comments?

Q: These are the big losers in my portfolios.
So sick of looking at them and waiting for improvement (which I know is unlikely and a bad idea). My wife’s analysis of my investment strategy is “break even quick”. Are any worth holding, or is it time to just jettison the works?
I don’t mind a bit of risk, but am thinking they’re just mistakes, at this point. I believe I have a diversified portfolio over all, with none of these being overweight.

Thanks for your help.

Q: Hello,
What are your thoughts on ERE.UN as they start to sell individual units to pay down debt and prove their NAV might be higher?

Thank you,

Q: Please comment on earnings. Is it worth holding?

Thank you for your service.

Q: Recently an analyst specializing on REITs said "We believe the ability for select names to maintain current distribution levels is ‘below average’, including Dream Office REIT, European Residential REIT, Extendicare Inc.,, Melcor REIT, Northwest Healthcare Properties REIT, etc. "
Does this mean there is a strong possibility that the distributions will be cut for the above noted REITs ?
Thank you as always for your insight.

Q: Hello 5i Could you comment on ERE.UN as to why it seems to be out of favor.
Also as to the company as an investment.

Q: I currently own both these 2 REITS. BEI appears to reach higher highs, and ERE seems to be reaching new lows. What are your thoughts on both REITS? Do you believe there is there more room to run for BEI, and would you buy ERE at these levels?

Q: Thoughts on ERE results and would this be a long term buy at these levels?

Q: I bought ERE.UN a few years ago when CAR.UN got involved with them . The thesis among a lot of analysts recommending them was " growth " ..... Then Covid showed up and the stock has languished ever since. I haven't lost any money but I am getting bored with it. So what is happening internally with the company ? What has management been up to ? Has this lofty growth everyone was excited about disappeared ? How does 5I rate this REIT ? .... Thanks Garth

Q: In Investment (non-registered) accounts these 5 stocks are all 'under-water'. I am considering selling for 'tax loss' purposes and would appreciate your thoughts. Is this a useful approach? Are there any that merit re-purchase following 30 days 'waiting period'?

Q: For ERE.UN, on Nov. 4 2022, you commented that CAR.UN owned 11% of the outstanding shares. But when I look on SEDI, CAR.UN reports owning 152,237,821 shares. I calculate that to be 65.66% of the shares rather than 11%. Can you please explain/clarify. Thanks

Q: the company has come down a lot , sure that being a small company and in Europe are negatives , but since it is somehow protected by CAR.UN , what is your opinion ?, will CAR.UN let them down if things get too harsh ?, is it a good price to get in ?, or better wait until all the bad news settle in H1 2023.
thanks !!

Q: Is there any news for Ere.un's 4% haircut today. $4.20p/p, so loss some 22%. On a downward trend since $5.06 H in May. Is it time to move on or continue to hold? Txs for u usual great services & advices

Q: I have losses in these four equities (between 10% and 25%) and was contemplating selling them. Would you continue to hold onto these equities or would you sell? What order would you sell them in?

Q: I would appreciate an updated opinion on European Residential REIT. Why the big drop recently? Thanks!

Q: Peter; With the huge number of refugees flooding Europe could this be bullish for ERE.UN? Thanks.

Q: I want to free up some cash to take a 2.5% position in HYLD ..... The two candidates for sale are ERE.UN and SIS ...... ERE.UN was getting raves from analysts for growth pre Covid but has been pretty flat for quite some time ..... Is the growth model still intact ? What are their plans ? ..... And your most recent comment on SIS isn't all that enthusiastic so of the two which would you sell ? Also regarding HYLD 5I has shown some hesitance because it is new and small ..... I don't understand why this should be a problem if I know what it's holdings are ..... Please explain ? ..... Also HYLD.U current price is $16.40 and HYLD is a little less ..... I thought the .U symbol meant US dollars and if that's the case those two prices make no sense ? Could you please explain what I'm not getting ? ....... Thanks Garth

Q: I was very impressed with the recent quarterly report for ERE it would appear that its growth prospects are excellent and dividends will surely go up again in february (or thereabouts). Do you agree?

Is the share price divided by AFFO the most appropriate way of evaluating whether it is undervalued or fully valued, compared to its peers? If so, isn't this one very cheap indeed? Debt and POR look good, so I am just wondering about the valuation.

I realize it is harder to get information from
Europe, but this one seems to be in an excellent housing market with an excellent pipeline - and they have proven this already - so should there really be a discount (or much of one)?

Q: Peter; Any idea of the flooding could affect Ere.un? I’m assuming they would have to announce any major damage? Thanks. Rod
