Q: From recent articles I've read, It appears that sentiment in REITS is shifting from residential and industrial to retail and senior housing.
I currently hold CAR.UN and DIR.UN. I find this hard to believe but should I be considering a switch to REI.UN and CSH.UN or something else that you support?

Q: Your thoughts on RioCan REIT.
Thank you
Read Answer Asked by Carol on October 21, 2024
Q: Two questions,
Most Reits have not performed well in the last year,I hold Riocan and it seems to have done worse than most. I want some exposure to real estate going forward-Would it be a good idea to switch to another Reit at this time?If so,any suggestions?

FIE has done well for me,but has high management fee's. Would it be prudent to switch to something a little safer with lower fee's,like CPD or? Thankyou

Q: I hold riocan for income and some growth and I am up at 30% so far. For more income, do you think it is a good idea to sell and buy the hamilton enhanced us covered call ETF ( HYLD.TO ) that has a dividend of 13% at the moment ? Advise me if you have a better suggestion or simply do nothing and keep riocan. BTW it is in a taxable account so I have to pay taxes on the move. Thanks and have a nice day.
