Q: Hello Peter and Ryan,
First Capital is a small trust with market cap of 125M (based on WSJ info). Yesterday, it announces 266 M purchase/co-ownership with First Capital Realty.
Jan 9, 2019 Crombie Reit anounced a sale of 104M ish to the group.
Questions:
Is FCD.UN a good investment today for a 10 years horizon?
Do you think that this can be a step to turn First Capital Realty to a REIT? or a planned merger of all First Capital assets into 1?

My annual membership will end soon, a day before my BD so I always remember to give myself a gift of membership in support of the last independent advisor for DYI.

Q: Hi,

I'm looking for a long term hold in US realty. I'm a little concerned that ADC is in retail, which concerns me, but it's growth just going despite your concerns, "and its cash flow per share is only about the level of 10 years ago. "
Of these 3, which do you think is best for a long term, relatively safe hold?

Q: Further to your reply to Andrew, it would seem that the continued distribution is reliant on the volatility of its marijuana stock holdings, and particularly the market’s opinion of the overvaluation of the holdings.

I would assume that the unit value is similarly based on that assumption. That is to say that this fund’s purpose and value is as a shorter.

Is this a reasonable analysis? Why would I want to invest here and pay the 0.75% fee, as opposed to shorting the holdings directly?

I hold a lot of cash at the moment. What would you recommend that I add, to increase my weighting in this sector to the recommended 17%. I am 72 with pensions, and do not need the income.
