Investment Q&A

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

Q: How would you rank these. What would the rationale be for the ranking. Housing affordability seems to be a market issue as well as not enough supply. Are these all buys with the macro backdrop?

Q: Other than higher interest rates, is there a reason the US housing REITS have been so weak of late? Does the same reason apply to CAR.UN which have been down.

Q: These symbols are confusing.
They are both showing as having the same US$ div'd.
Same name and both say :CA on you web site,
They appear to be the same but .U trades in US$ on the TSX.
The .UN one is aa newer list and trades in Cdn $.
Any advantage to one over the other?
Cdn $ one seems to do less volume.
I always get gypped on conversion when I trade US$ in a Canadian $ account. Even the trading fee is in US$.
Would appreciate your expert opinion.

Q: A little while ago, Stephen asked a question about some Reits and BSR was mentioned. In your answer, you suggest it was not cheap, based on 22x cash flow. A couple of questions: would other matrices also show it to be not cheap? About P/E, it shows at 5 on my Portfolio Tracking, but on the web page from my booker, it says 12.49....why the difference? Last, while I do like the business focus of BSR, CAP Reit is often mentioned favourably for this sector; can you briefly compare these 2 and suggest which you would prefer, and why? Thank you for your excellent service.
