Q: Just a comment about a previous question regarding increased cost for Reit's for insurance, cost are going up and whether increased rents will cover these increases could effect the bottom line. Below is an excerpt of a condo in BC.

The president of another Lower Mainland strata council is speaking out after getting served with a sky-high hike to his building’s insurance.
Mike Pauls lives in a year-old 26-storey building on Gladwin Road in Abbotsford — a structure so new, it doesn’t even show up in Google Street View.
In 2019, the building paid a $66,000 premium through insurance broker BFL. Last month, the strata council got its bill for 2020: A whopping 780 per cent increase to a premium of $588,000.
“Our jaws kind of dropped to the floor,” said Pauls.

Q: In reply to Brian's question regarding Bep.un and the form they send for income tax. I do my own tax. I received the tax form from my broker and they send them now by e-mail , the numbers and even the box number was so blurred I could not read it. It was a long form with many boxes, even the box number I could not read. So I phoned the broker and he couldnt even read his copy, he had to go elsewhere to get them. It also come very late in April with not much time to finish my tax. I just sold Bep.un so I wouldnt have to go through that again, but by that time I still got to do it all over the next year!! If you use a tax preparer then that would be their problem. FYI.

Q: Gentlemen,
I hold the above four REIT's. I plan to sell REI.UN. With the proceeds and new cash I would like to increase the HR.UN and BPY:US positions and add two additional REIT's. For these I am considering DIR.UN, FCR.UN, IIP.UN. or any of your suggestions. These 5 REIT's would represent 10% of my portfolio.
I appreciate you input.
Thank you,
Werner

Q: I just received an email from Citron talking about SDGR. They feel it is the second coming of TSLA but of course, in a different industry.
They are a brand new IPO and are up 20% today, but would this be worth purchasing in the event that it pulls back to prior to the letter and held for a period of time.
In a nutshell they recap it thusly:

"Through use of artificial intelligence and a world class scientific team that is unmatched by ANY public company, Schrodinger has created a software platform that integrates predictive physics-based methods with machine learning to become the leader in molecular simulation that 1) reduces the average time and cost required to identify a drug development candidate and 2) increases the probability of drug discovery programs entering clinical development.

With the global pharma industry spending approximately $180 billion on R&D annually, this innovative software platform is completely disrupting the drug development process."

Would you invest in this concept yourselves, once you research more about it.? I know its not a p/e , value play it may or may not be TSLA of 10 years ago.

Thanks

Sheldon
