Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Would you consider apartment REITs as good inflation hedges? Rental rates and property values should presumably increase in an inflationary environment. However, the currently low dividend yields on these REITs, I assume, could cause some weakness in a rising interest rate world. What's the right way to look at these? Thank you.

Q: In your opinion, is it too late to get out of the higher valuation stocks like SHOP, CROWD, UNITY, APPS, CELH etc.? With 3-4 rate hikes coming possibly, would I be better off in the lower multiples like banks? Or is most of the damage already done?

Q: Is there any possibility that you could add start date to the portfolio reports. You give the start price but not the start date. Or you could add a column giving the compound annual return. This would be more meaningful than the return since inception column.

Is there any way I can access all the transactions made in the portfolios. I can go back thru the monthly reports but that is a lot of work. To add to that the sell prices are not given, only that the position was sold. I also noticed that when you add to or divest part of a position, the start price is not adjusted.

Q: I am extremely low in International and US stocks, I would like to have an ETF for each that I can put in either my RRSP or TFSA. I know you have mentioned in the past that you like IWO for small caps, is that still the case or is there a better choice.
Thanks for all the excellent help

Q: Hi - it's been a while since I've seen comments on SHW so wanted to know your current thoughts as it approaches its earnings release in a couple of weeks. Does it seem to be a bit pricey based on it's historical valuations? Do you have any concerns about this qtr and their possible upcoming commentary? Is it a price taker or setter. Bottom line...any concerns in near term and especially since market seems to be in mode for beating down high multiple stocks. Thanks as always
