Q: Your March 2 2023 on the company seems relatively positive? But over the Summer/Fall less positive? (correct me if I have that wrong) If true, is it a reflection of real estate market/higher interest rates or execution of the company? Earnings were released on Friday, comment? If you were doing report card/ 5i Opinion today what would you change? Thanks!

In which order would you sell the above? and I assume you would not buy any of them back at this point in time?

Q: These stocks are owned in an income portfolio and while their yields are good the continued downward trend is worrisome. Which would you replace, and with what, and if you could provide a reasoning for the change. REAL is my "real" worry, if truth be told, but I also feel slightly off my pizza these days ...

Q: Further to Kel's July 24th question and your reply re: capital appreciation in the Real Estate sector. You listed 4 favourite Reits - any preference in ranking ? Would you consider the addition of REAL to be a good move ?

Q: Unfortunately I am down over 50% on all these stocks (held in my TFSA). I am “cleaning house”.
Please give your opinion as to whether any have the potential to recover and are worth holding for a bit longer.
Thanks for your help.

Q: I’m significantly underwater on these stocks. Can you please advise which ones you’d hold, and which ones you’d sell? Can you please also give 5 growth stocks in Canada and 5 in the US that you are high on right now in place of the above?

Q: I have a few questions regarding these 3 companies, which I hold as part of my real estate exposure. I am down on all 3:
(1) How much overlap is there between REAL:CA and EXPI:US in terms of their various US businesses? I intend to hold REAL for the eventual recovery, cannot use the loss anyway as it is held in an RRSP.
(2) I am considering selling EXPI:US and adding to my TCN:US to consolidate the positions. I can use the loss on EXPI.US. What do you think of this move?
(3) To sum up, hold Real, sell EXPI, add to TCN. Would you do it differently?
(4) In general, due to the shift in outlook for interest rate increases over the past month, do you think the real estate recovery has been accelerated?

Please take as many credits as you like. Thank you.

Q: I'm down 50%+ in these positions in a registered account with a 5-7 year time horizon. Which of these would you suggest I sell and which would you consider holds? Please offer better alternatives in the same sectors for the sells. thanks!

Q: I use my TFSA to buy and hold low-debt, cash flow positive, technology companies with good long-term growth prospects. My TFSA holdings (ENGH, OTEX, SYZ, TCS, AIF, REAL and AT, ranked by weight) total about 8% of my overall portfolio. My holdings in AT and REAL have fallen to about 1% of my overall portfolio, because of their poor performance, versus 2.5% average holding for each stock in the overall portfolio. I am considering the following options:

1. Keep both AT and REAL for a long term (10+ year) hold (i.e. do nothing)
2. Sell one and consolidate into the other for a long term hold (but which one to keep?)
3. Sell both and consolidate into my other TFSA holdings (which one(s)?)

I would welcome your thoughts with respect to each option, given there is no tax loss selling benefit in a TFSA. Thanks!
