Investment Q&A

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

Q: I have a question about brookfield real estate, why are the shares so under followed and under appreciated? with an 8% yield and shares up nicely since last earnings and share price pushing all time highs you would think there would be more talk about it?

it has a strong dividend that has been increased several times recently and shares continue to appreciate, i think this is a very undervalued company, your thoughts?

are investors afraid of its small size? or its connection to real estate? lets face it, if the real estate bubble bursts in toronto and vancouver (which makes up 1/3 of realtors biz) people will still need to sell these inflated properties

thanks

Q: I want to increase my holdings in real estate as a contrarian play, and also increase my received dividends.
I am looking at SOT.UN and it has an expected dividend of over 9% and earnings that are more than double that. It made a deal with Fortis recently, and Fortis received shares as part of the deal. I figure Fortis is pretty astute. I would be interested in your opinion.
Is there anything to read into the fact that no questions have been asked about this company on your website. I like to buy things whilst they are still "under the radar"?

Q: Dream Office REIT is underperforming the REIT index especially recently. It has been trying to improve the balance sheet but is again down today after publicity over a possible sale of part of Scotia Tower. It seems to be very unloved.I have been waiting for a better price to sell with some frustration. Is there hope for better sentiment and price? Thanks for your opinion

Q: Hello Team, I am looking at an Income Portfolio and thinking about adding either PIC.PR.A or PIC.A or both, but I am leaning on PIC.PR.A that distributes a 5.75% steady dividend distribution. I am looking at a 5% weighting. Can you provide your opinion on this fund which utilizes a covered call practice on mostly the financial bank sector?

Q: Hi,

Do you think I should wait to get into some US banks or invest now? What do you think of the names I've provided and can you give me a name or two you think would be suitable for a long term hold for a medium risk investor?
