Investment Q&A

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

Q: I have sold most of my REIT's I own except for three.

HR.UN 2.96 % weighting (removed the Drip)
AX.UN 6.11 % weighting (Enrolled in Drip)
CSH.UN 8.28% weighting (Enrolled in Drip)

I am a little high in Chartwell I think and maybe Artis too. My overall REIT exposure is most likely way to high. My question is do I sell one entirely, trim back on the high one or remove the Drip and start to take cash. I really like these three REIT's and I am bias towards them and not sure what to do

Your thoughts?

Q: I had purchased CXR, aware of some inherent risk, but comforted to some degree by an element of reassurance from analysts I respect - including those at 5i - and held on to cxr, to my huge detriment having lost a significant amount of $ on Friday. This is not a question, but rather an expression of gratitude in the midst of CXR's debacle for the much-appreciated alert you provided us; I sold on Friday to redeploy the funds into something I hope will turn out to be more generous. Thanks again. It's time to move on. Regards.

Q: I know that you are removing from the Growth Portfolio today but what should an investor with real money on the line do that's down 70%. This was a 7% position in my portfolio. Should I just eat the loss and move on or hold for 5 years to see if I get my money back (or at least some of it)? I don't need access to the capital for at least another 15 years.

Q: Hello Peter and Co.
On your guidance I have unloaded CXR. I hold MG and DH, 2 stocks that have had bad years but I still feel are solid companies. I am thinking of adding to these as their valuations seem pretty good right now and I have done well in the past adding to good companies when they're down a bit. What do you think? cheers

Q: Peter and Team,

The market seems to really like Badger Daylighting's Q2. It looks good to me all in all and it seems they are turning in the right direction and performing better but I have to say I don't really see anything there to justify the massive jump I the stock. I would have expected a 4 - 5% move rather than almost 17%. Any thoughts on the earnings?

Marc

Q: Although, I'm generally not a 'trader', I saw this morning that BAD took a leap up, leaving quite a gap, so after holding it for 3 years I sold, with 150% profit, thinking I can probably buy it on a pullback. Would you agree that it is still a good company to have and if so, if you also think there might be a (technical/sector) pullback, what price would you look at to get back into?
