Q: Do you think REITS, with their combination of high debt and yield are particularly vulnerable in a rising rate environment? Or does the underlying economic improvement that leads to rising rates counteract this? Also which sectoral REITS would you prefer in a rising rate environment if any, and finally if you have any other thoughts on this, please share them. Thanks.

Q: Vermillion has been quite a bit higher in the past years. Now with oil around $80, although the stock is up it is not getting back to where it was a few years ago. Is it company specific issues like maybe debt or does the market not trust oil staying at $80? Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. Thank you.

Q: Hi Peter and team:
This is both a macro and micro question. Energy sector is hot and when I see you are tweeting a response to Eric Nuttal's exuberance, then I know I have to take notice!

When you gaze into your crystal ball, :) how much more upside do you see in the energy sector? Assuming energy has a ways to go yet, do you think it is going to be propelled by large caps or mid/small caps? Is it easy to play this rally via XEG or ZJO?
Or read your Q&A and buy an assortment of large and mid/small caps? I know you have consistently favored U/ENB for example.
Many thanks.

Q: They've had a great run, I've owned it for probably 10 years, and every time I think the story has stalled out, they seem to do another consequential acquisition. Blow-out numbers, particularly on the organic side, and raised dividend significantly. Do you see any issues with this one, or steady as it goes?
Thank you as always...

Q: My Real Estate holdings, aside from a paid off home, are DIR.UN (39% of real estate holdings; up 46%), GRT.UN (13%; 11.7%), SMU.UN (16.5%; 9.5%) and TCN (31.5%; 28%).

My longer term holdings have been DIR and TCN. Following 5i's emphasis upon Industrials as a current favourable sector and comments that Industrial REITs are fewer in number (eg WPT's recent buy out by Blackstone) and therefore more valuable, plus a TD analyst comments on the possibility of an SMU buy out, I bought GRT and SMU.

However, in a general intent to streamline my overall portfolio to fewer and 'best quality' holdings, how would you suggest I amalgamate these holdings to maintain subsector and geographic coverage with projected best return? Which is the least desirable holding(s) that I might sell?
