Q: Hi Peter, Ryan and Team,

A 5i Q & A caught my attention:

Q: Hello Peter,
If you wanted to beef up the income portion of your portfolio and liked the idea of a couple of industrial REITs, in each of the US and Canada, (partly on the assumption of 'fulfillment' in this new world of online ordering), which four would top your list - assuming you're hoping for good and/or growing yields. Thank you!

5i Research Answer:

WIR.U; COR, DIR.UN, PLD

I recently bought some GRT.UN in this space, and it's done well so far, yet I notice that it's rarely mentioned as a possible buy, as the above Q & A shows. Is there something 'inherently wrong' with Granite as the reason it's not a 'top pick' for 5i?

Thanks for any clarification.

Q: Looking for the best of both worlds ... income and some growth.
AND not finding bonds very compelling due to low interest rates.
AND as part of my holdings in the financial sector.
Would it make sense to buy and hold ZEB (4.7% yield) and ZWB (6.65%) ?
My thinking here is ZEB would capture more capital gains once interest rates start to move up and bank shares rise in value; while ZWB captures a higher yield in the meantime?
Of course I am also open to a better suggestion.

Thanks for your help.

Q: Wondering if you are doing any assessment on DND for maybe a portfolio position or further recommendation? An analyst started coverage with an $18. In doing some research on them they noted: The Company intends to pay an annual dividend on its Shares, initially at a rate of $0.075 per share. While this is subject to board approval and nothing is guaranteed would you view this as a strong signal of the company growth plans if one has a 5+ year time horizon?

Q: More of a comment - I too was wondering what was causing the move in DCBO and an analyst report at TD pointed out in their MD&A they noted the below which will likely contribute to further revenue growth in the coming quarter as the customer ramps.

Subsequent Event
Subsequent to quarter end, Docebo added a new customer that is expected to be one of Docebo’s larger customers.

Q: Hi 5i
Macy’s is approaching earnings release Aug 12 with a corresponding rapid increase in share price over past several days. What would you attribute this to and do you think it is significant?

I realize most analysts rate this stock as sell, and as current owner of this stock I am trying to decide if this is my “selling opportunity “ or should continue to hold. That is to say is there a faint hope for this stock to recover somewhat from this price point and if so over what time frame?

Thx

Q: I currently own TCN but would like to increase my Real Estate holdings through an ETF. I would like to stay away from shopping malls and more commercial real estate and lean towards more residential holdings. Do you have any suggestions in the ETF category or should just buy a REIT like CAR or something else.

Thank You for your solid support
Clarence

Q: I own ARX, PSI and XEG. Momentum in ARX is improving and I am just above water. I am down 66% with PSI. My other holding in the energy sector is XEG. I am considering selling PSI and investing the proceeds in ARX. What do you think? Thank you.
