Q: How would you go about identifying a proxy to the Canadian residential real estate market? Ultimately, I would like to short the real estate market but can't seem to design the trade. Any guidance would be helpful.

Q: In the past you have mentioned you felt the dividend is vulnerable, wondering if anything has changed or do you still feel this way? Could you list a few Canadian REITS you would feel more comfortable with yielding above 5%?

Thanks

Q: Hi,

Im looking for an investment thats fairly stable, with some income, some growth and should do well in the next few years. I own no REITS, and no industrials presently.

Can you recommend 2 CDN REITS I should consider? If you have better options than the ones I listed, what else should I consider?

Can you recommend two US REITS as well?

Q: I have held IIP.un for about 9 month. Following some declines (story of my life) and then periods of stable value, the stock has been increasing nicely in the last couple of months and I am now up about 15%. Do you see continuing increases for IIP.un or will it flat line after this recent run? The other day a BNN guest suggested that TCN would be better than IIP.un, going forward. What do you think about a switch? Of the 2, which would be a stronger, more secure holding. Thank you for your excellent service.

Q: Can you please comment on Equitable's recent quarterly results. How does their valuation now compare to others in the financial services sector? It appears to have been another very strong quarter with their CET1 ratio now close to, if not, higher than the big 5 banks. I know 5i prefers GSY but I'm wondering why EQB doesn't get much love considering their very strong track record of earnings and dividend growth.

Q: A few questions about the blog article "The Bigger Short" by The Intercept. Do you concur with the thesis that there could be a crisis in U.S. commercial real estate due to the overstatement of the retail borrowers ability to repay loans and mortgages and the repackaging of such loans into trusts (similar to residential mortgages before 2008)? If I read it right U.S. banks and other lenders could be in jeopardy. Would there be a similar situation in Canada and would companies such as BAM.A be susceptible. No rush on answering and take as many credits as necessary. Thanks.
