Q: Hi 5i,
Is there a way to know if Morgan Stanley issued the recent unsecured note at 12% for one year to Novo Integrated Sciences (a US micro cap in the health sciences sector)?

Q: I’m looking to add a US REIT to my portfolio. Can I get your thoughts on how you would order these 5: SPM, O, VICI, PLD, IRM? Also, what would be your choice of a US REIT ETF?

Q: What are your thoughts on EXPI latest earnings report? Was there anything of particular interest on the conference call (either positive or negative)? The stock has been punished with interest rate hikes impacting real estate markets. Does it look like a company that will do well when it comes out of this and real estate picks up or have the fundamentals and story changed here? Is this an add while its down, hold and do nothing, or time to move onto other higher conviction names (please suggest any). Currently held in TFSA so no opportunity to claim a loss (down 70%, currently less than 1% weighting due to drop). Thanks so much!

Q: I have small positions in the above noted companies held in my TFSA. They are all underwater and so there is no tax advantage to selling these losers. I would like to sell some or all of them and either to one or more of them or move on to some small techs that have more prospects. Can you let me know which of these you would sell hold or add to. Thanks for your ongoing great advise.

Q: Your thoughts on selling Medtronic and trimming Linamar and replacing with one of these companies. I lean towards Pattersons Co. that is more in providing services.

Thank you!

Q: The eyeglass/contact industry seems ripe for disruption due to high costs to the consumer, often paying several hundred dollars for a pair of glasses. Warby Parker and Zenni optical are at the forefront of this disruption. Almost everyone I know buys online these days, $1-200 per pair. Warby is publicly traded, reported today. What is your opinion on Warby and do you have any idea if/when Zenni will go public. The former has retail stores, and charges more for their product, the latter online only.
Thanks

Q: Now that energy stocks are going out of favour, it's time to start looking at the what might be attractive from a valuation point. I'm looking for a US energy company (not XOM or CVX): what are your thoughts on DVN and PXD? Is one preferable or do you have another suggestion? Thanks.

Q: Looking at the price performance of this name the decline appears to have started around the time an increase in interest rates was contemplated since when the price has halved and the yield gone from around five to about 10%. Listening to the conference call the recent shortfall appears to have been problems with their Prospect investment, against which management says they should receive some or all of the moneys owing, probably in '23, maybe '24, and that the future for their facilities are buoyant - not that anyone would fault management for championing their business. Over the years, and they have been almost all low rate years, their unit price has not dropped below 10, or 9 if you go back 20 years save for a brief interlude in ‘09, since which time they have presumably grown.

What has been your experience with other health care REITs and what outlook would you assign to the sector as well as for MPW
