Investment Q&A

Q: I have never owned a REIT but started looking at a couple. In doing so I realized that I really don’t know what to evaluate in a REIT (beyond type of asset - land, commercial, residential, specialty) and things I normally see as red flags may not be here. Can you tell me a few of the most important fundamentals to look at when comparing REITS (negatives to watch out for specifically, and positive indicators). For example my initial concerns were steady increases on common shares outstanding (seems acceptable and typical of all REITS) and what debt levels are acceptable. If you could tag your favourite REITS today I would appreciate. I have only looked at LAND and IIPR so far.

Q: Can you recommend some US stocks with growth and yield?

I have ABBV already.

Thanks

Q: If you were going to have a USD Income Portfolio, what would your top 10 equities and how would you rank them. How important is annual dividend increases?

Q: Is Real Estate a good investment in an inflationary environment? I have Prologis, Public Storage and American Tower on my watchlist. Can you please rank them and provide any other suggestion you might have.

Q: Good morning. I am looking to add a new US dividend growth stock to my RRSP. My top contenders are Costco, Home Depot and McDonald's. What would be your top choice today? Do you have any better suggestions (stocks or REIT's)? Thank you.

Q: Thank you for reading my question
I’m looking for warehouse stocks. Can you share a few from the US and any in Canada

Appreciate all your time and attention

Q: What are your top US REITs?

Q: I would be interested in a REIT or an ETF which deals primarily with storage units and/or warehouses. Is there such a thing? Either in Canada or the US..

Thanks as always. You provide such a valuable service to independent investors like me.

Q: Hello Peter and team, I'd like to purchase some high quality US companies whose share prices have been unduly hit by the COVID correction. However, I want to do this in a conservative way - with larger, stable companies with low debt and strong balance sheets; assured 'survivors'. Can you please suggest 5 good US candidates in the 'survive and recover' blue chip camp, and a dividend of at least 2.5 percent. Thanks!

Q: I used to own SVI on the venture, was tired of holding it and as a result missed it’s recent rally. What do you think of PSA on the nyse for a first time purchase.

Q: I'm interested in 2 lo-volatility stocks, with some dividend and some momentum for a minimum of 2 years. Most of these REITs mentioned have lots of hold recommendations, but very few buys despite their recent outperformance?? Are they overbought? Can you pick 1 or 2 US REITS for me and 2 CDN reits as well?

Q: Could you recommend one or two quality American REITS or a REIT ETF principally investing in the States? Thank you.

Q: What's your current opinion of this stock. Appears a bit expensive but earnings are growing nicely. Need a stable US stock with a decent dividend and a bit of growth!

Thanks

Q: Are there any self storage companies in Canada that you think may be good investments? Do you like PSA on the NYSE as a long term investment?

Q: I have some money to invest that I may need in 3-5 years as income but would like some up side other than the amount the bank pays. I have been thinking of putting it into a bond fund but with rising interest rates do you think that the potential capital loss will be offset by an overall gain in this time period. My overall holdings is mostly in equities and I would like to start to increase my bond holdings. Also do you think PH&N bond fund is a well run fund. What do you think a neutral interest rate for today is. Thanks

Q: What is your opinion of this high interest savings ETF. Is this a safe place to park 100K in order to get a small return (1%) while waiting for an investment opportunity.
