Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I often scan the insider trading reports for clues as to buying and selling in equities that I have an interest in. I am wondering if you could explain the rules surrounding reporting trades. I have seen that trades need to be reported within a certain time frame- but I have also seen very outdated trades reported in the filings. Is there a penalty for insiders who are "tardy" in their reporting?

Q: I notice that this company pays a monthly stock dividend plus CIL(cash in lieu). I have been told that there is no taxation in a non-registered account until the security is sold. I have never seen this with any other stocks I own. Can I get your opinion on the advantages or disadvantages of this type of dividend payment?

Q: hello 5i .. I have the following REITs (and % of my portfolio): BPY.un (1.5%), CAR.UN (3%), CHP.Un (2%), CRT.UN (1.5%), IIP.UN (1.7%), .. for a 60-yr-old dividend investor, does it make any sense to simply life by selling these and buying an ETF like XRE or VRE? ... or is the status quo the way to go? thanks!

Q: could you give me more details about how these debentures work?
with a price around 129 $, what is the current yield?
Are they trading is US or CAD ?
I understand that at the end of march of each year the company can announce that they redeem them in a 5 year period. Hypothetically, lets say I buy them today at 129$ and on March 31th 2020 they announce the will rebuy them (at par, so @100$ ) in march 2025. What would be the reaction of the market on the next day. Would the price slowly goes down on a 5 year period ?
What influence the debenture price ? (how CSU is going, interest rate, something else)?
I also have 5 % in my portfolio in CSU, if I had debentures up to 5 %, would you see that as a concentration risk ?
Would you have a few similar products to suggest in other quality companies ?
