Q: I am retired living on dividend income. I currently hold equal positions in AAR.UN and WIR.U. Now that the AAR.UN acquisition is priced in and only yielding 3.87%, I am considering selling AAR.UN and adding to my WIR.U position, which yields 5.91%.
Is there any reason to continue holding AAR.UN?
Is selling AAR.UN and adding to WIR.U a good strategy? Or would you recommend another industrial REIT stock?

Q: I have been following the stock market, daily, for a half dozen years. And I never fail to be impressed at how brutal the market can be when a company fails to meet expectations. Today's 'victim du jour' is ZCL. Although it's not included in your current portfolio choices, my impression is that it's a decent company. After 2017 Q3 it was hammered with a 20% drop in stock price. Then gradually gained ground through to yesterday's 2018 Q1 report. An approximate 10% drop, as a result. What I've learned, and appreciate, from following 5i, is the importance of not catastrophizing after a bad quarter -- but to take a much longer view -- and to remain with what has been a reliable dividend payor throughout.
