Q: Hi,

In an otherwise well balanced portfolio, with a slight tilt towards growth I do hold the above REITs for income. As part of a new investing philosophy (to me) I'm aiming to reduce my equity positions from 33 to 23 over this year. Thus, I need to sell one of the above and re-invest the proceeds in the other three. With an eye towards income preservation (ie. sustainability of dividend) and growth, which of the above do I sell?

Cam.

Q: It looks to me that SHOP is a bubble. I have no doubt that it has a great potential, but I do not see how I can justify the actual valuation. If I assume a 30 % annual sales growth, a 30 % net profit in the future and a valuation at 30 times the EPS, it would take 7 years to justify the actual valuation. Please correct me if I am off the track. Thanks.

Q: Would appreciate your analysis and thoughts on Seaspan. Had doubled up and was thinking of selling and putting funds into 2 more US equities. Looking more for growth and capital appreciation but fine with a dividend if possible.
Which 2 would you suggest in any sector and do you think Seaspan's recent news is the reason for the 14% drop in the last month.
Thanks Gary

Q: In your reply to Robert on Jan 10 you mentioned a delay in returning 737MAX to service could be negative in the short term for CAE. I was going to hold off purchasing in the event of a pullback. Does the recent Boeing recommendation that pilots be trained only on the newer, scarcer simulator change your short-term outlook?

Q: 5i's focus is on smaller company stocks. All companies need a focus of course. But this article struck a chord with me, mostly because since retiring I've reduced our equities to well below the 50% minimum for equities and the rest in bond funds or etf's that it seems most financial advisors recommend. We're now 75% GIC's. Your thoughts on this article please:

Q: Quarterhill wins the Apple court case (again) and has been awarded $85.M
Can Apple appeal this judgement? This must be considered a substantial amount of money going into the QTRH coffers. What would you think this should do to the value of the company? It seemed someone knew about the award before qtrh halted the stock yesterday as the stock price jumped and
volume was over eight times the average.
