Q: Hi,
Is there a good argument to buy a reit or a similar security as opposed to buying a rental property? I know that labour involved in maintaining, commissions involved in buying and selling can be high when it comes to buying a rental property. But in the last few years the capital gains from rentals have been high especially in the GTA area..Are the returns comparable?Thanks.

Regards,

Shyam

Q: Hello Peter and team,
Do you see BCE and Telus as over value territory as it seems investors are moving to safety driving up share prices.. I was thinking of selling some and buy back later time (i know it may seem market timing, but they have run up alot). If I did sell, what are the alternatives? Thanks for the explanation on BAM; the market call commentary was harsh. Lastly, would you consider Enerplus a good buy and is PE a good way to look at oil companies or is it mostly on cash flow? Thanks very much

Q: J's comment on March 30, about the small ADR fee charged, is interesting and I wonder if he would elaborate, e.g. how does he determine the fee, does it apply to all ADRs, etc. (This topic may be suited to the forums, if J could be redirected.)

Q: This seems to be trading at a good price lately. Their last report showed about 58 cents per share of cash flow, which translates into about 7x cash flow on an annual basis. Is this correct?
Seems like COVID and other risks are already priced in. Is debt the main concern? I note that that did come down somewhat in the last quarter.
Thx
