Q: Hi 5I, my question is more about portfolio construction. I have moved both AMT and CCI to the communications sector of my portfolio to raise the percentage in that sector and to decrease the financial sector or REITS. It it fair to do such things as it does feel like they belong in the communications sector.
Thanks

Q: I hold small, equal positions in both AMT and CCI. I'm down on both and I'm thinking of doing some cleanup. Of the two, is there one you prefer at this time? I'm thinking of selling one and moving the funds over to the other,,,

Q: Currently I have no exposure to real estate in my portfolio. This is because I have been very hesitant to buy into real estate for the last few years because of Covid, then high interest rates, office workers working from home effecting Office REITS and on-line sales effecting Retail REITs. Are there 3 safe REITs out there paying a 4 - 5% dividend that a retired senior can invest in or should I just continue to stay away from the whole sector for now?

Q: Hi 5iResearch
What is your take on STAG, and does it have a good chance of recovery in the next 12-24 months?
Can you please recommend three or so stocks in the US real estate sector with a good dividend (3-5%) and a reasonable expected growth.
Thank you,

Q: CCI dropped 8% after hours on friday. The only news that I can find is a rather large downgrade by Truist Securities but there was a similar downgrade of AMT without the same reaction. Do you know if this downgrade was the reason for the move in CCI and, if so, the reason for the downgrades. Otherwise, why the move in CCI and would you see this as a buying opportunity?
Thanks for your insight.

Q: Hi,
I'm interested in these US REITs. Can you rank them best to worst for a longterm holder, and comment on the best account type to hold them in?
I know you've said that in general REITs are best held in a TFSA, but are there any exceptions to that guideline among them.
Thanks

Q: I want to add funds to my real estate holdings, as well as refine it for maximum sector diversification.

My current holdings are DIR.UN, EQIX, DLR, CAR.UN, GRT.UN

On my watchlist for this sector are TCN and CCI

Can I get your opinion on:

1) Are there any redundancies in my current holdings and if so, what could be sold?

2) Could you rank my current holdings for which to add to - first to last?

3) For proper sector diversification, would TCN and/or CCI be good additions? Or is there another real estate name you would suggest?

Thank you as always for your sage advice!

Doris
