Q: What are your thoughts on this company? To quote "FCR remains one of a small number of REITs trading at meaningful valuation discounts versus pre-pandemic (P/NAV 74% versus 86%, P/AFFO 16.0x versus 20.0x)" I understand its debt is high but has been reducing it aggressively pre pandemic.
I know you like GRT.UN and CAR.UN, wondering where FCR ranks in relation to these 2.

Q: Everyone, you suggested a number of micro caps stocks rather than one or two. Recently you have suggested MTLO and PNP. Can you recommend another three? Individually I will invest $1000 each and with the assumption that they could go to zero. Many thanks.

Q: HI folks.
Happy Spring.
I believe that I once saw your List of Canadian Companies that pay their dividends in US dollars. Would you please send me the link.
I am slowly going to sell off and then rebuy the stocks that I own in Canadian $ ( over the the US $ side of my accounts with existing US $ cash). Is this the best plan in order to avoid FX charges and receive my dividends in US$ ? At what point is it not worth it??
Much thanks

Q: Greetings:

These three companies have not fared well over the past 12 months and I wonder about company specific issues? If I I look at other companies in the same sectors AW.UN for instance it has done pretty well compared to Restaurant Brands over the same period, and CGI hasn’t performed nearly as poorly as Open Text as another example. Do you see any changes in fundamentals for these three that concern you going forward?

Thanks,

Q: Have some cash in my US $ portfolio and am considering these 6 stocks.

1) Are there any that you would want to buy at this time ? If so, would you consider them primarily to be a shorter time hold to take advantage of near term bounce, or do you see them as having the potential for both short and long term strength ?
2) Of those you would want to buy – if any - could you rank the order in which you would buy and acceptable price range.
As always, thank you .

Q: I am a young retiree with a well diversified portfolio. I could use some stability and dividend in my portfolio which is more focused on growth. Can I have your assessment on Russel metals. It seems that the economy should continue to do well even with some inflation as the markets seem to have digested the increase in rates. The world will always need metals to manufacture things. Why is Russel so cheap? Why is it not in your income portfolio?

Thanks a million LOL LOL
