Investment Q&A

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

Q: When REITs have dispositions during the year does it prompt year-end special distributions?
How often does this happen.?
I saw a note about AX.UN maybe doing a distribution because new management sold all that valuable industrial property (a mistake in my opinion).
Is it mandatory?
When and why do shareholders get the bonus?

Q: HI
I am woefully low in real estate and notice you have only 1 REIT in your three model portfolios combined albeit an equal weight REIT but your total real estate sector allocation would still be low. Are you bearish on real estate?

What if any real estate stocks do you like or would you still just favor ZRE for diversification for an RRSP holding? What would you suggest for real estate sector allocation percentage?

Q: To gain exposure to industrials would you prefer TIH, FTT, Stantec or another? Are TIH and FTT similar businesses, meaning would you ever hold both in the same portfolio with a limited number of holdings?

Q: "We are not tax experts, but it is generally wise for dual citizens to avoid TFSAs" This was your response to an Oct 25 question. I have been contributing to a TFSA since they started in 2009 with limits soon to exceed $80,000. There is some paperwork required as the Americans consider TFSAs a 'foreign trust' rather than a self funded, self directed investment vehicle. The paperwork time is worth the investment advantage. Some general guidance from US tax accountants would be beneficial to your subscribers with dual citizenship and those filing US tax forms. I use RLB with offices in KW/Guelph (Jeff Hood is the US tax person)

Q: Hi Peter,

Upon reviewing the quarterly results, I am surprised at the irrationality of the market.

Growth is still intact as far as I can see. The only "issue " that I can see might be the weak guidance for next quarter. However, the full year guidance has been raised.

Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
TD Webbroker has a feature called Advance Dashboard.
Before I sign up I wanted to know how useful it is for a long term investor and not a day trader. So when buying or selling a stock it would be helpful to see how many buy or sell lots and there volume were lined up...if you know what I mean. Your thoughts please! Thank you!

Q: I'm befuddled about classifying VEEV as in the HealthCare sector. But VEEV" provides industry-specific cloud-based software solutions to address the operating and regulatory challenges of life sciences companies". Seems to me, VEEV is really a software provider and for this reason, I would classify VEEV in the Technology sector. I'm curious what your take is as I want to ensure I get it right for my portfolio analysis....Thanks for you input......Tom
