Q: Hi, I have a large holding with REI.un and wondering if I should hold it or sell (at a loss) Do you know if they have any debt that would complicate things with interest rates climbing?
Q: In your model portfolio, I see that there is only one "real estate" holding (FSV). In this sector, I own two REITs in my RRSP and realize that my weighting is way out of whack: (14% in REF.UN and 12% in REI.UN.) I am gradually attempting to diversify my holdings, using stocks that you have chosen in the model portfolio, and would like to know which of my two REITs to keep (or if neither or if both) and what percentage REITs should be in a portfolio. I have done very well with both of these REITs, especially REF.UN, but it's a bit painful to see these two stocks dropping daily. Thanks for the great service you provide.
Q: Hi,
I read a Globe article today about the bite that on-line shopping is taking from malls. Would it be wise to move some of my REI.UN to an apartment focused REIT?
Thanks!
I am recently retired and I am looking for investments for my RRSP. For tax reasons, I would prefer not to add equities to the RRSP and have been looking at income trusts. Are there any that you can recommend, beyond those that you have reported on to date?
Many thanks,
John
