Investment Q&A

Q: What are your best 2 picks for the public storage sector US or Canadain and why. Is this a good sector to invest in at this time. Thank you for your analysis.

Q: Good day 5i - I would like to know if it is advisable to pay a fee for an ETF Cash Account if you are frequently depositing and withdrawing funds to use to buy stocks, etc. I realize the funds are more liquid. Also, not having used an ETF previously, do you need to be concerned when the ETF is at a higher price when you purchase it. Thank you.

Q: What are some REITS that aren't in the heavily leveraged area ?

Q: How safe if the PSA? I ask because I know some commentators are talking about a “credit event” perhaps happening sometime in the next few years, and I remember some money market mutual funds having some kind of unexpected difficulty in the past.

Q: Hi 5i, looking for help taming the RIETs part of my portfolio as i own all of the above. Can you help me with selling some REITs (anything I've doubled up on or is not the best choice). I am planning on redistributing the funds to the remaining REITs. As usual your help is appreciated, if you could rank them also that would be great.

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
Mark

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: Hi 5i , I am interested in adding an REIT with focus on large warehouses and I wonder if there are any you would recommend? Also REIT ETF's interest me . Thank you for any input you have

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
