Q: Good Day My question is about the earnings of SmartCentres Real Estate Investment Trust. They seem to have their core as retail but are branching off into residential, storage, and senior complexes. I have always liked this management team and they have done us good over the years. Can you comment on their earnings and your thoughts on the direction of other real estate assets?

Q: Dear 5i,
I would appreciate your current thoughts on MHC.U?
In earlier posts you mentioned that their 15x Cash Flow was expensive.
What would be a good value Cash Flow to purchase this stock at?
What is the current Cash Flow and where can I find future Cash Flow metrics? Can you suggest other investable companies in this space other than CAR.UN and BAM? Thanks so much!

Q: Greetings,

Trying to reduce REIT holdings and would appreciate your advice: I don't mind keeping both but if one was sold and all the proceeds used to buy the other, then which one would you prefer to keep adding to? Both classified as "retail" . Which one has more potential to keep growing?

Many thanks!

Q: What's the main reason why some of the REITs that did well in 2021 are doing so poorly heading into 2022? I own DIR.UN, GRT.UN and SMU.UN and all three are down quite a bit so far into the new year. Thanks.

Q: are any of these something to have as a good investment ?
Read Answer Asked by jim on February 09, 2022
Q: Good day.

DIR.UN: I read that REITs become favourable in a rising interest rate environment. Is this true for industrial REITs too? Could you please help me to understand why. I assume that they can raise rents, but do they not have longer term rental contracts (?). Any property purchases would also cost them more. How do they benefit from higher interest rates? Thank you.
