Q: Hi there

Very much enjoy your service. I was going to add one more REIT to my portfolio to bring it up to 9% weighting. I was looking at Killam versus Pure Industrial knowing they are in very different sectors - apartments in Canada (Killam) versus Industrial in the Canada and the US (Pure Industrial). I need some guidance as to the stability of earnings going forward, the adequacy of the payour ratio looking ahead, and any possible likelihood of dividend increases. Both have dropped lately so don't know if that is a sector thing or other factors. Mainly looking at long term income here.

Much thanks

Stuart

Q: i currently am thinking of retiring im 55 and tired of the volatile markets im considering putting all my money 800K in Dream Office Real Estate Investment Trust d.un with the current 10% yeild that should give me about 6600 monthly income which would be comfortable for me, my house is paid and i have no debt. d.un has taken a hit for being a reit in general and for being located in calgary, i think it is way oversold, i would like to know what you think of this idea.

thank you

Q: I am thinking of investing in the REIT space ( individual company or ETF) for income in a registered account. In looking at XRE I note that CSH.un is not now listed in the holdings. Would you have any comment on a reason for it being dropped?

Do you have any preference between XRE or ZRE?

As always -thank you for your guidance.

Q: The healthcare and biotech stocks have been hammered badly, would you distinguish them from the retirement residence ones like CSH.un, EXE, SIA and NWh.un? I am looking for dividend and capital appreciation, would you rate the ones above, perhaps, suggest others.
Many thanks, J.P. Burlington

Q: I have about a 4.25% weighting in ORC. I have done fairly well on it. I understand that it comes with some risk. Just curious do you know much about this company? I was thinking of selling soon but the monthly dividend is hard to give up in US funds. If I did sell I would have over 10K to start a position on the NYSE. I was thinking MSFT, INTC or CSCO I already own DIS, SBUX, JNJ, SBR just to name a few in US Also I was thinking ABBV or Abbott. Just wondering about ORC and its risks Thanks
