Q: Hi Guys

In regard to Tricon I am thinking of adding to my position but am wondering what their exposure would be to variable rates. I do not want a interest rate surprise like AQN. What do you think of the likelihood of that happening at the upcoming earning release? Should I be worried about any other surprises with TCN? Are you still feeling positive on this stock?

Much thanks Stuart

Q: I see the positive case for TCN - with higher interest rates house affordability is reduced which should bolster the rental market. But some ponderings on TCN:

1. Doesn't TCN own their properties? If so, wouldn't their asset $ go down if/when house prices drop, which seems to be the current trend?
2. Do they carry a lot of debt compared to cash flow, and if so wouldn't their interest servicing costs be higher compared to their rental revenue?

Sorry for the lazyness, I haven't done a deep dive on them and pawning it off to you!

Q: In one of your answers you felt that Tech, Consumer Cyclicals and Real Estate are areas that have been beaten down and might be poised for recovery. Could you mention 3 stocks for each area listed on the TSX that you would recommend as having solid potential at this time. Thank you.

Q: Saw Andrew Moffs on BNN Monday discussing REITs and Real Estate companies. Looking for a 2nd opinion on these 8. Maybe just a ranking from 1 to 8 in order of preference for a long term hold. Yield doesn't matter, looking for best total return. Which ones look buyable at this time?

Q: Looking for a real estate play in my TFSA with a 3-5 year hold. I note that TCN is smaller and more volatile than CAR. However TCN is currently priced at a substantial discount to CAR. I noted your comment to a previous question about investors switching to growth names from bond proxies after interest rates settle. Considering an initial 2% position in TCN. Comments please. Thank you

Q: How would you rank these. What would the rationale be for the ranking. Housing affordability seems to be a market issue as well as not enough supply. Are these all buys with the macro backdrop?
