Investment Q&A

Q: What is your updated opinion now after their unveiling of the value creation plan and substantial issuer bid? Worth holding for now?

Q: Can you provide your latest thoughts on this company based on your fundamental analysis. Technically it appears to have formed a base after declining for quite some time.

How does the future look for this company. I believe they are in the right space based on our consumeristic habits.

Thinking of putting in my TFSA.

Thanks very much

Q: Noticed your Report on Real Matters and liked the looks of basing pattern on the Chart.

I already own Costar but would like to add a Real Matters Position .. wondering if their businesses’ have similarities?

Additionally would like to ask if your warming up to this area would infer you are likewise warming up to the ‘out of favor’ reit sector and if so your #1 choice in the reit area today for Capital Gain potential over a 2-3 Year time horizon.

Thx in advance.

Q: Hi, my question is a bit specific but also more general. I'm about 25% down on this stock. When I read, it seems that it's solid enough long-term, but it's not going to rise 25% for quite some time. As a non-resident, I cannot sell for harvesting tax losses, but I wonder if selling at a loss and putting the remaining money into something faster growing would be a good idea? Again, part of the question is about this specific stock, and part is a general query. I'm curious about your answer! Thanks!

Q: Could provide any insight into why SVI has dropped hard in the last six weeks, down approximately 24%. Is this a buying opportunity or a falling knife?
Thank you, Mike

Q: Hello, can you please share your views on the most recent quarter. thanks

Q: Hello, since the rate cutting have started, what reit would you be interested in Canada and in the US?

Q: Is this a good point to invest in REITs?
If so, what would you recommend?

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan & Team,

Thanks for your recent report on SVI.

In a non-registered account, we own DIR.UN, but not SVI. Looking at the charts, I see that SVI is outperforming DIR.UN over all time periods. Would you endorse selling about half of DIR.UN and using the proceeds to buy SVI?

Alternatively, we own Telus in this account, which is at a loss. Would you endorse selling all of T (for tax loss purposes) and use the proceeds to buy SVI. In this scenario, we wouldn't sell any DIR.UN.

Which alternative would be preferred?

Your valuable advice is always appreciated.

Q: Can you please provide your outlook on Storage Vault Canada? I found the total debt to EBITDA ratio is 11 times. Would this concern you when considering adding this stock?

Q: Hi with interest rates beginning to edge lower what would be the sectors most likely to benefit? Could you give me a couple of your favourite picks for each of those sectors. Would you be edging in, fully buying in, or hold off for a possible October correction? With the likely chaotic return of Trump to the Presidency would the Renewable stocks such as BEPC be at risk of correcting under this scenario? He does not like windmills much... Thank you for your service and deduct credits as you see fit.

Q: If you held 5 or 6 real estate type positions in a diversified portfolio, and wanted to consolidate a bit, would you be in favour of selling a smallish position in SVI and add to medium sized positions in DIR.UN and/or GRT.UN. If yes, would you add to both or just DIR.UN?

Q: I am looking to add some real-estate to my portfolio .
Are there any ETF's or stocks you would recommend.

Q: looking at some names where tricon money may flow to.
-notice several bank analysts research reports on tricon have peers :
bdi, svi, mrd, meq, drm. would like your thoughts please.
thank you

Q: I am woefully underexposed to the real estate sector.
Could you please identify your top 3 Canadian stocks, REITS and ETF's which one might play for the impending interest rate cuts in 2024?

Thanks
Jeff

Q: Thank you for your recommendation. I just want to clarify the ETF that I was referring to is public storage that list in US.

Is there any similar ETF listing on TSX?

Many thanks,

Q: Hey folks...any thoughts on this company? View as a buy/sell...thanks.

Q: Hi 5i,
in regards to SVI.TO:
In your opinion does the executive team have much skin in the game (ie ownership)? It looks like there has been some buying in the last year.
In your opinion what would be a very attractive buy price?
In your opinion do you think this stock might experience more pressure because of tax loss selling later this year?

Q: I have had the impression rightly or wrongly that you aren’t buying into the current narrative that interest rates might stay higher for longer? Just supposing they do stay elevated for some time, are there any companies in your universe that you may have been previously positive on whose debt levels might give you pause under the higher for longer scenario? I’ll use EIF just as an example. Is it something you could run a screen on just to highlight some companies that you think could bear a closer watch under such a scenario? It always seems to me that when a company has an issue (Nuvei being a recent example), it’s always a suddenly too high debt ratio that ultimately takes them down (or at least keeps them from recovering). Appreciate your thoughts as always.

Q: Public storage and cell tower stocks are down significantly this year. Were they simply over-valued previously? Assuming interest rates will stabilize, do you feel that they may offer above average returns going forward? Your favourites listed on US and Canadian exchanges?
