Q: Do you think this is a good time to buy back in to the marijuana sector? Or should I wait ~6 months to see more steady revenue streams and see if some of the better known names can reach profitability next year? I did well selling aphria prior to legalization date. If you would buy now, what would be your recommended Canadian listed stocks?

Q: Which of the above funds are reset preferred? When do they reset and what would the dividend look like at that time? What is their present dividend. Could you also tell me about the ones that are not reset preferred? What are they and what is their dividend? Need information as not sure whether to sell with interest rates decreasing. Would I do better holding the common shares? Thanks for providing this service.

Q: Good morning 5i Team

I currently have a half position in BPY.UN and have been looking for an opportunity to increase it to a full position (3.5%). I'm primarily interested in dividend income (I like BPY's 7%) supplemented with some growth. I tend to hold dividend payers for long term.

I would have thought lower interest rates would have been a tailwind for three reasons:
1) dividend income versus alternatives
2) lower cost of borrowing
3) lower cap rates for properties for sale, increasing potential sales price (offset by recession risks lowering demand for same).

Interested in your comments on this.
Thanks as always.
Peter
