Investment Q&A

Q: At about 9:30 this morning, the price was approaching a 3 year high, but seems to have met resistance, although it didn't drop dramatically.

Are fundamentals still looking good and could we hope that the price may break through the resistance level?

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: If the auto sector is hit with tariffs what will the impact be on APR.UN, if any?

Thank you
Philip

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?

Q: Peter the above have not been very good to me
Could you give your opinion of them
Also what would you suggest I replace them with
not with a fund or trust ie stocks or etf
Thank you for your advice

Q: BRE has been on a nice run lately. Any idea what is behind this? Time to take profit or let it ride?

Q: I currently hold TCN and REI in my TFSA. I am thinking of selling them and replacing with IIP.UN and CAR.UN. I am looking for income with some growth. Do you recommend this or would you leave things as is or possibly consolidate to just one? If so, which? Weighting is high - 17% for REI and 10% for TCN.
Many thanks for your great service!

Q: What do you think on the $2B joint venture deal?
Thank you!

Q: Ax.un is showing a little weakness. I see no specific news. Is it ok to buy for income?

Q: For an income porfolio (like 5iR's), I am thinking of buying CAR.Un and IIP.un for a long-term hold/investment. I know 5iR held CAR,un and am familiar with the differences between these two RIETs (thanks to the question/answers by 5iR). I would like to buy both as a combo. My question is what weighting would you give to a combination of these two?.....Like 4 or 5%?........And what would be the split be? ....like 50%-50% ?.....Thanks.....Tom

Q: Can you please provide a commentary on this REIT... thanks

Q: Could I get your opinion on these two industrial REITs, both down somewhat due to new secondary offerings (general comments on the sector, payout percentage, debt level, etc.). Do you prefer one over the other? What would view as the maximum percent-of-portfolio for each?
Thank-you

Q: I currently hold 3,000 exe at an average cost of $12.00. Down substantially.

I am an income investor with 5 years to retirement.

Your comments / outlook would be most appreciated.

Q: Could you give an opinion on the multi-family reits out there

Q: Hello. I have some new money in my TFSA. I would like to put it in the REIT sector. I am looking at NWH.UN. What do you think about it? Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i
I note that CAR.UN has been on amazing ride upwards. I own over 4,000 shares since 2010 @ approx. 10.67/Sh. So I am happy to see the shares are appreciating. But I wonder why this is happening in the last month or so, especially in a period when interest rates are pointing higher. Is someone accumulating for some reason? Or is there anything else I am not aware about.

Thanks for your insights and keep up the great service.
Joseph

Q: Hello may I have your thoughts on Car.Un

Q: Hi Guys,

This is a follow up to Peter's question on CAR.UN.
Why do you say CAR is better for income? It has a distribution of only 3.06%. Most REITS are well above this rate.
Is CAR over-priced at $43.33?
Thanks
John

Q: From your report on IIP.UN, it appears that the company is making money from acquiring properties in more urban (i.e. stable) areas and by doing so, it is able to increase the efficiency and profitability of its property management area. The trust is also making some money by raising rents after tenants on old cheaper leases leave and by applying for "above guideline increases for existing tenants" which I think is another way of saying it works to get around rent controls.

Does IIP.UN own individual condos and/or condo buildings? Do they develop any of their own projects or is entirely a growth by acquisition story?

Is the above approach much different than that of CAR.UN? The metrics for both are very similar. Is IIP.UN different in that it owns somewhat more expensive rental units? Or are the two companies pretty similar?

Back in January, you felt that CAR.UN should be owned if one is interested in yield and IIP.UN would appeal more to someone wanted growth. Is your answer the same today?

Appreciate the insight.
