Q: Hello.

I own Smart Real Estate Investment Trust and I am wondering if I should hold or sell it. I had bought it, when it was called Calloway, since 2008. Dividends have been reinvested since my first purchase.

Since bricks and mortar retail stores are under pressure and interest rates are rising, should I sell SRU.UN or keep on holding it? I am interested in capital growth with some income, but if the prospects for SRU.UN are not good, I prefer to sell it even though it pays out a good dividend.

Thank you.

Q: I held about a 3% position in Ruf, and sold half shortly after the potential buyout offer a couple months ago. The stock is now down and seems to be settling in around $9. As the current price is lower, I am considering buying back what I sold, hoping for a better offer and collecting the dividend in the interim. Do you have any updated information about the offer, your opinion of what might happen, and if buying it back makes any sense.
Thank-you

Q: I am considering realizing gains on a 3% position in FSV and moving the proceeds into TCN. My thoughts here are to maintain exposure to US real estate with a lower valuation higher yield while still maintaining a growth tilt. Your comments on this move would be appreciated.

Q: "We certainly see FCR as a 'slow but steady' type of income name, with not a whole lot of catalysts." A 5i response to a question dated 07 May 2018 from another Stephen.
With the investment news announced today (9 July) and the Short Description: Treasury Offering of Common Shares Price @ $20.50, is this looking good? Any possible problems for example debt loads? Unlike the other Stephen I am down a bit from where I bought this over a year ago.

Thanks

Q: Morning,
I need some help to understand an "outperform" rating recently issued by RBC on CAR,un.
When the report was issued a day or two ago CAR was trading at $42.63 and only had a yield of 3.1%. RBC has given a $40 price target in 12 months.
Why would there be an outperform rating on a stock that may have a negative return in the next year?
I feel CAR is extremely overvalued at this time and have reduced my holdings by 25%. What is your opinion?
Thanks for the help.

Q: I have about a 3% position in HR.UN and a 4% position in SRU.UN. Both pay a good dividend but I'm down about 9% in both. Perhaps I should switch to a residential or industrial Reit for more growth potential. Any suggestions?
