Q: I hold these REITs in a diversified portfolio. They have not been performing and are mostly close to 52 week lows. Do you see upside in these? What is your view on holding REITs like these? Should I be switching them out for something else or am I being the typical investor considering selling at the bottom :-)

Q: Hi Peter & 5i staff

Thanks for answering my recent real estate sector question in which you suggested that Granite could help diversify my sector holdings.

According to a recent Globe and Mail article, would you agree that Granite "will experience tailwinds because it derives most of its revenue from US based assets"? The article focused on how to manage Trump 2.0.

Thanks as always for your timely responses.

Q: In the last decade I have always owned a number of REITS as part of the conservative/dividend portion of my portfolio, but I have gradually sold them off the last few years as interest rates rose and performance tumbled. My question: can you recommend any REITS from across their spectrum that feature a solid dividend - hopefully 4% + - and gradual stock appreciation. I'm not looking for smoke bombs and lasers price appreciation! Thank you.

Q: I only own two REITs in my entire portfolio - GRT.UN and DIR.UN, and both are down sustainably (25% and 15%, respectively). Do you see any lights at the of these two tunnels? I plan to sell both for tax losses if there are no chances of these two turning around before December. Your advice please.
