Q: Dear 5i
Is investing in insurance companies like SLF a good idea in a declining interest rate enviroment , or are they like banks and make up the difference in lost revenue in other areas of their businesses ?
Also would now be a good time to buy into REITS , DIR specifically as it has not done very well over the past year and therefor more likely to rise more also with declining rates ?
Thanks
Bill C

Q: Was looking through your Tax Loss Selling Report and Dream Unlimited caught my attention. Not much love for or attention paid to this stock to the point that there were no quetions re. its most recent earnings on Nov. 11 . Could I have your belated assessment of these earnings before I decide whether to take a flyer or talk myself down .
Thank-you.

Q: As I do my year-end review, I am always looking for moves that can add potential ZIP for next year while being mindful of my senior years (old). My portfolio is well established in weighting and sectoral positioning. Chp.un has been in it since 2020 and has given me a 16% return (x div). It seems to have a muted outlook for 2026. What is your view on a switch to the somewhat out-of-favour car.un. At $37.80 ish and estimated up to $48 range next year, it seems like a solid move for growth potential. Not too worried about the minor div variance here. As always thank you for your service.

Q: At this point I have no real estate companies in my portfolio as I was concerned about on-line shopping affecting retail REITs, work from home affecting business reits, etc.

Is there anything in real estate that is safe and pays a decent dividend??

Q: What do you think of digital core reit? It is out of singapore but also recently listed in Canada. It pays dividends in US dollars. It may be an interesting (speculative) play on data centres? is it worth taking a bite?

Q: Good morning!
I do realise this is a high risk company, and that they are selling off hotels trying to get their financial situation improved.
However, they just reported completion of an NCIB ending December 2025, where they actually purchased about 10% of their float. They have renewed the NCIBsame for the next year. That to me is interesting, suggesting that they do actually believe their current stock price is lower than it should be. Can you have a look and let me know your thoughts about what might be the future prospects for them? ... Thanks! Paul K
