Q: Do you think that bonds from Brookfield property are at material risk of default? If I am understanding financial press, their credit ratings have dropped. But their values have gone up more than 5% recently.

Q: I was looking to sell CSH.UN and buy either CAR.UN or IIP.UN because of its high payout ratio but I didn't because it started showing momentum. I recently heard on BNN that most reits have a high payout ratio so I wondered if I am being overly cautious.

Can I get your opinion on CSH.UN. should I be concerned about its high payout ratio? Would you sell it and buy one of the other reits.
I own all 3.
thanks

Q: BRE had what looks like a positive announcement today - market reaction is mixed - this is a small company; no dividend growth buy high yield over many years. I have a small allocation in my portfolio just to give my overall yield a bit of a boost. Do you like the deal announced today? Is it a ‘safer’ company ad a result of this deal?

Q: Greetings:
It has been considerable time since a question has been asked about Timbercreek Financial, formerly Timbercreek Mortgage Investment Corporation. Interest rate now almost 10%-- Was higher in Oct, 23 when price fell badly. I have owned it for years. Apparently they are finishing settling a big bad loan- I have no idea how much they lost and would like to know. Could you please provide as much info about this MIC as possible. Would you buy more or sell? I believe it is back on the road to recovery, or would you buy something like Atrium. or sell both.

Thanks very much for your speedy replies. Wonderful.
Ben.

Q: Hi Peter and Staff

Long time holder of NWH.UN as a small part of my REIT basket. Been thinking i woukd just hang on (in my RRSP so no tax loss benefit ) but reading more on AP.UN that I used to own and wondering if that would be a better albeit still risky option than NWH.UN going forward

Thanks for all you do
Dennis
