Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi Peter and Ryan: Thanks so much for your calming responses to the current volatility in the markets. This is my third time through a downturn since retiring in 2000. It isn't much fun, but intellectually I know that the market doesn't go constantly down as well as it doesn't go constantly up. Your well thought out reasons helps to remind me of this.
My first question is: in what sector do you place Csh.un.? It works best for me in Income Trusts, as that is why I have it. The TSX places it in Real Estate.
My second question is; is this a good time to purchase an ETF such as VEE and or FEZ? I am overweight in Canada and the U.S. and underweight in Emerging markets and Europe.
Thanks so much. Your advice is wonderful for a small investor such as myself.

Currently. have the following higher yield stocks: BX, FSZ, FTS, BEP-U, BIP-U, and T. There are no REITS. Would you advise to invest in REITs at this stage, given that many are near year lows?

Q: NRZ.us (New Residential). I have a loss on this holding. Share price has been more volatile lately. Although I subscribe to some premium data services , I have not been able to determine (not for sure) whether private placement(s) --- shares and/or debt--- depressed NRZ’ share price. Is this company a reasonably good holding based on what Bloomberg gives for : PEG ratio, Debt levels , ttm and forward P/E and dividend sustainability ? Would you surmise from your terminal whether or not NRZ.us has reasonably good prospects? Although I have checked data on sites I subscribe to, I am getting different data and differing ratios for trailing and forward P/E , debt to equity, and whether share or debt issues actually took place within the last month or two.
