Investment Q&A

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

Q: Recently, I got cash from AAR.un buyout from Blackstone. To replace AAR.un I thought about these two companies (I have no exposure to senior housing now) What is your opinion about these two companies ?, Main risks and resistance to a downturn in the economy. Will you favour one over the other ? Or split the funds equally on both ?

Q: hi folks:

i was always led to believe that reits are a group that falls into 'interest sensitive' assets
and they would get hammered in an increasing interest rate environment
hasn't happened and many are at all time highs
is this because the hope that inflation will raise rents/values to offset increased interest payments?
or because raising rates indicate an improving economy?
or because rates are increasing very slowly
or because we feel the rate increases are finished?
or what?

thx

Q: https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2018/05/03/premier-calls-allegations-against-nursing-homes-disturbing-and-upsetting.html

Would this type of allegation lead you to cut half the position or perhaps entirely? I have quite a large (overweight position) in SIA and have it as a DRIP for a number of years. I have about 40 percent of my position in free shares and want to continue to build my portfolio around the aging demographic. I have considered selling some SIA and putting a bit more into SIS as well as Park Lawn, but the dividend income being re-invested has done me well and provides a nice safety net on a long term hold. THoughts?
