Q: I am considering the above 7 REITs and would like to concentrate on the best 4-5 for long term in RRSP; based on current value and growth potential. I am concerned that CRT is trading at too high a valuation (P/B higher than others). Could you please tell us where each of the 7 REITs are trading, relative to their NAV (for example DIR's may be trading at a 10-per-cent discount to NAV). Can you please rank all 7 REITs? Thank you!!
PS: Is it hard to calculate trading price relative to NAV?

Q: COR reported yesterday February 4 and shares are down about 5%.
1. Your view on the results please , for example results vs. management forecasts.
2. Is projected cash flow sufficient to meet debt obligations and projected distribution rates ?
3. Is COR positioned well for the growth in the global need for data centers, especially given rapid digitization (possibly including some troublesome humans in the future) ?
4. I referred to your response to my question of January 13 (thank you). Is there anything in your answer of that date that you would change?
5. Is today a good time to buy ?

1) What are the latest Dividend payout ratios? My sources are giving numbers that seem all over the place.

2) If a dividend cut was on the cards, how would you rank which company is most likely to reduce or cut?

Many thanks!

Q: On the RBC Direct Investing web site it shows the short position of BYP.UN as 7.06%. Is that correct?

Being that there is an (almost) guaranteed offer to takeover BPY.UN by BAM is it unusual to have such a large short position in this case at this time? Aren't the shorts going to have to cover eventually and that would put upward pressure on the stock price? Your comments please.

Q: "WIR's historical tax allocation has been 40% foreign non business income and 60% return of capital (ROC). ROC is included in the distribution and is not a separate payout. There certainly is no Canadian dividend tax credit. We would be fine with this in a cash account".
One more question on this CDN Cie !
I keep WIR.UN in my non registered account, since 1) the dividend is excellent and 2) The Cie is well positioned ,are those 2 arguments are enough to justify keeping WIR,UN in my non registered account and to pay the 15% US withholding tax + CDN tax ? any other argument ? since the dividend is 4.8% -15% US tax - CDN tax on 40% foreign non business income ? Thanks again !
