Q: You knew it would happen but I wish it had been at a premium to the pre covid price and not the current price.... I've been a longtime holder and done OK, it has paid a solid div for me over the years and I was happy with the post BIP spike last year. I sold today at the premium over the offer as I agree with you that BIP doesn't need to sweeten anything with control. Unlikely in this market and that space that a white night will come in. So my question is what should I do with the cash? I dont hold any brookfield's so buying BIP is an option or do you have a better brookfield option. I am overweight financial already so doesn't need to be in the same sector. Overall well balanced so could be anything...balanced portfolio follower slowly shifting to income.

Q: CAR.UN seems to be struggling. I hold it in an unregistered account at a loss position. I also hold DIR.UN. Am thinking of selling CAR.UN, waiting 30 days and then re-buying or just adding the sale funds to increase DIR.UN. Don't hold any other REITs in my cash account, but have other REITs in RSP account. I am thinking that CAR.UN will need some time to recover and that it will be very slow over time. Do you agree? Would you wait longer to rebuy?
Question 2 is regarding DOCU. Would you consider it still a buy at current levels for a 5 year + hold.
Thanks for your input.

Q: Hi Peter and Staff

The above 4 REITS are part of my REIT basket in addition to other industrial and apartment REITS.

All are down a lot . Please hit me with sufficient credits to rank them best to worst in terms of prospects for capital appreciation on a risk reward basis considering various valuation metrics as well as the future as you see it.

Please indicate any clear winners or losers in the rankings

Thanks for all you do

Dennis

Q: About 3 months ago you provided a report on IPP.UN. By all accounts things looked favourable and it appealed to me thinking it was defensive but since then it has decreased about 15%. I recall a comment from you since then, suggesting the Gov't bringing in rent controls had a negative impact. Where do you see things going for IPP.Un from here?
I also have BIP.UN. Do you see it as defensive?
If I want to raise some cash, which would be better to keep? Thank you for your excellent service.
