Q: I am considering adding some real estate to my portfolio. I expect interest rates to remain relatively steady or drop slightly over the next two years. Do you think now is a good time to purchase a REIT or is there more potential downside as the interest rates on their debt resets higher as the debt matures? I am specifically looking at residential real estate companies. Of the above companies which one or two do you prefer and why? Is there a real estate sector you would prefer over residential?

Q: I have owned CJ since July 2022, its SP has been very much flat during that period. I do have a bit of cash sitting on the sideline and I wonder if I should top up a bit more on CJ, or just cash out and move onto another name.

Patience may be virtue in investing but there are other more lucrative returns out there. What's your take on CJ in the next 12 months or so? Thanks.

Q: With the recent mini-banking crisis and banks restricting their lending; could this not be seen as a growth opportunity for loan generation for GSY? Even if they can't lend at the same higher rates as before they can still obtain higher loan volume growth - or at least that is my thesis.

Conversely, as consumer spending on discretionary items (eg. furniture, electronics) may be decreasing - could this be a head wind for loans related to their EasyHome segment?

If both of these trends are at play - which do you think will play a larger role on the stock if any? Even with the large drop in the share price, it can't be far off from a PEG close to 1 so it seems attractive as well.

Thanks.

Q: I have been fortunate to come into a windfall of cash from a relative, and I am interested in taking new positions in the following securities with this new cash. Please note, my existing portfolio is fairly well diversified across all sectors in North America.

Can I please get your long-term opinion on these new securities I wish to invest in. Do you see any issues with respect to these investment choices? I have money to invest and feel the urge to plunge into the market at this time.

CSH.UN, MRC, ALA, MPCT.UN, TRP, CVS, LIFE.U, TEVA

Thanks

George

Q: If one has exposure to renewables through a large position in Brookfield Corporation (owner of 25% of BEP) and Fortis, do you think it makes sense to hold onto a small position in Northland Power? (which has showed promise over the years but has unperformed the market significantly the past 18 months)
