Q: Hello Peter,
I am a little confused on the recent price drops on the REIT sector. You say the selling is due to people believing interest rates will be going up soon. Some REITS are offering over 8.0% yields.
At what dividend yield do you believe REITS will stop dropping?
Regards, Max

Q: At what point do you think there will be enough "blood in the streets" to consider the REITS a table pounding buy?

Q: Hello Peter,
Do I see it right if I buy uuu now for $2.77 that I will get a 9 cents gain in a couple of weeks?which comes to over 3% in a short amount of time.
Is this a 100% guarantee?if so ,this does not look to bad to me and why is the stock languishing at $2.77

Q: Hi Peter and team

As I sit and watch my portfolio go down because of the rotation out of dividend stocks, I wonder who the sellers are and what they are doing with the money. Presumably they bought REITs for income and where are they going to find anything equivalent? As I try to decide what to do (if anything) I would appreciate any insights you have to offer. Thanks

Q: Hi Peter
I am committing $15,000 of my TFSA money to a stock portfolio and would like to see growth & income. Could you recommend 5 stocks for the medium/long term, or should I have as much as 10 names?

Q: Hi Folks
I've been away and seem to have missed something. What is meant by the dividedn/REIT rotation. Are you saying investors are or will be moving out of dividend paying stocks?

Q: In your model portfolio, I see that there is only one "real estate" holding (FSV). In this sector, I own two REITs in my RRSP and realize that my weighting is way out of whack: (14% in REF.UN and 12% in REI.UN.) I am gradually attempting to diversify my holdings, using stocks that you have chosen in the model portfolio, and would like to know which of my two REITs to keep (or if neither or if both) and what percentage REITs should be in a portfolio. I have done very well with both of these REITs, especially REF.UN, but it's a bit painful to see these two stocks dropping daily. Thanks for the great service you provide.
