Q: Good morning 5i team!

I understand that the rental market (condos and apartments) continues to remain strong in the US and Canada due to housing affordability issues in both markets.

What are your thoughts on this macro trend in the housing markets and do you expect this trend to continue?

What is the best way to profit on this trend if it continues?
Can you please provide a few ideas in both the US and Canada (REITS,stocks etc.)?

Thanks once again for your unbiased independent investing perspective!!

Q: I hold 3 stocks per main section allocation and have HCG as my financial anchor (through thick and thin - as my three main inspirations Jason Donville, Mawer's Martin Ferguson and yourself are still constructive on it); I also hold AD. I sold RFC for a couple reasons including captial tax loss to offset gains elsewhere.

Which financial stock would complement well HCG (and AD)? CXI, EFN, EH, Fiera, other??

Assume an otherwise diversified portfolio for long term investor (doing well mostly except my financials!!). Dividend is nice to have but I am focusing on stock's total return as primary criterion.

Q: What is your opinion on cf? My purchase price is 9$. Do you suggest averaging down or exit altogether at a loss? It is in a tfsa, so there is no tax loss advantage, but want to get out if there is not much growth. Thanks

Q: Hello Peter, I hold EnCana, Cenovus, Canadian Natural, Baytex, Surge and Tourmaline. As I'm resigning myself to low oil prices continuing for at least a few years, I'd like to eliminate two or three of my positions.
Some of these stocks have obviously done much worse than the others. But on a 'looking forward' basis only, can you please list the stocks that you'd suggest I eliminate, in order?
Thanks, James

Q: In the last Canadian MoneySaver Peter Lantos wrote an article on the benefits of investing in mortgages and points out that "big money" is heavily invested in real estate. Would REITs mimic the real estate and how does one invest in mortgages? Do companies such as FC qualify as mortgage investments? Thanks

Q: There was a trading halt on AG Growth International late Wednesday afternoon due to "pending news" which was lifted at 9 a.m. on Thursday morning before the opening bell. I have searched the company website and can't find any reason for such a halt. Do you guys have any idea what's going on? Thanks!
