Q: hello 5i Research team, AIF sold its investment in REAL at 5ish dollars less than two years ago while they were insiders and had a representative one REAL’s board. Now that we know what happen since then. What can that tell you about AIF? Lack of vision? Certainly not a desperate need for cash. Do you « downgrade » AIF management for this?Thank you for your collaboration, Eric

Q: I sold SIA a month ago, mainly for tax loss purposes. I can buy it again at roughly the same price, my thesis being that all the bad news is out, so it should not go down much further. My main question is: is the dividend fully funded, i.e. should we expect a cut in the future? This is for an income portfolio. Thanks.

Q: What is your analysis on Nexus REIT?

The commercial real estate looks like mainly leased to grocers, dollar stores and banks.

Only concern seems to be their office space which seems to be a small portion.

Also, what % of their real estate is office space?

Book value of yahoo states a value of $2.65. How do they compute this?

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

I know that you still like AP.UN, but if one feels that there could be better results elsewhere, how would you feel about a switch to GRT.UN? Allied has done well in my wife's TFSA, but I'm a bit uneasy about the office property sector in the short to medium term. Or do you have any other suggestions in the same sector? Thanks in advance for your advice.

Q: I have held riocan for more than a decade,and am still well ahead. However, I am concerned about the retail industry as well as the big yield, and fear a cut. I don’t need to be in the reit space in my portfolio. Would you recommend a hold ,or a sale and replacement with a decent yielding and relatively safe alternative?
If so, what would be your favourite?
Thanks for the great service.
Philip

Q: I was reading an article regarding Dream Industrial, and the author indicated that DIR.UN was a likely take-over/buy-out target for Blackstone (past relationship), also, as they have said that they are "trying to meet a growing demand for e-commerce". Would you consider this a likely/probable outcome?
