Q: I own a house in the GTA and I'm worried about a housing market correction and that the value of my house could drop 300,000 - 400,000 in the next 3-4 years. How can I hedge this risk? Any suggestions or ideas? Is there any cheap derivative products that I could buy? Etc. Thanks!

Q: TN.UN True North Apartment. Although not alone TN has been swooning of late. Looking over past Q's I noticed you were waiting for the financials to assess the recent purchase. This looks like a classic 'cookie jar' stock. Great yield! Is the market going to slap my hand for buying it now? Should I wait one more Q?

Q: I recently added both PLZ.UN and DIR.UN to my portfolio and both are in the red since. I noticed the REIT sector seems to be hard hit of late as well. Can you comment on the recent REIT slow down as well as the prospect of both these companies?

Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i,

What is your opinion about NWH.UN as a long term RRSP investment for dividents and growth? I dont have any investments in the Health care sector, can you please suggest one or more names for growth (Canada or US stocks). Thanks very much. Shyam

Q: Hi 5i Team,

I had a question about FAM REIT, I realize it is small and a little higher risk. My question is with regards to their dividend is it sustainable now with the higher payout ratio and what about for the long term?

Q: Cominar REIT (CUF.UN)

Hi Team,

This is a follow up question after your reply today about Cominar's purchase of new assets yesterday. I see this morning CUF.UN is down ~1.23% suggesting the market doesn't like the deal so much. I was wondering if it's because the cap rate for the new properties is 6.5% but CUF.UN's dividend is 7.64%, suggesting the payout ratio of 74.81% would have to rise or the dividend would have to decrease all other things being equal. Is this a correct interpretation or am I off base? Your advice and knowledge is greatly appreciated and is helping me to learn so much. Cheers. Michael
