Investment Q&A

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

Q: Good morning Peter and Team,

There was recently an article in the Globe and Mail that praised the virtues of this REIT. The last question in 5i was from January, and I'm wondering what your current opinion is. Would CRT.UN be a nice addition to a RRIF to provide some extra stability, or are there other REIT's that you prefer? (At present I have a full position in FCR which I realize is not a REIT, but don't have any REIT's in an otherwise balanced portfolio.)

Thanks as always for your valued advice.

Q: hmmm ... I'm seeing that Mainstreet Equity, which owns apartment houses in Western Canada, hasn't risen along with the oil stocks. It certainly declined along with the energy sector. But now it's not going back up. What do you think the disconnect is? Is it a sign the MEQ is mis-priced?

Q: Heavy selling on CCL today, after a down day yesterday, while the market is surging. That puts CCL down 10% in the last ten days. Anything behind this? Such big drops are not the norm for this stock.

Q: I see you continue to omit Whitecap Resources when members ask you for
your top oil/gas companies even though WCP remains in your balanced portfolio. (today you recommended TOU, PEY, RRX AND VET) Is this because they have greater upside from here or is there something else wrong with Whitecap as a top pick? I also noticed you recommended not to chase the current trend towards materials and oil and gas companies. Why is that?

Q: Brookfield is spinning off a portion of its Business Partners division to BAM.A shareowners. The only comparables to BPP I can think of are KKR and BX, neither one having set the world on fire in terms of returns the last few years. Do you think that BPP as a much smaller entity will have better long term growth prospects than either of those two? The CEO of BAM claims the last 5 years has seen great growth in its private equity and continues to see opportunity. Do you agree? Thanks, J.
