Q: A little while back, I saw some info on CTS and thought to start a position; I purchased about 0.5% weight of my equity portfolio., and I was thinking of adding. I currently have CSU at about 3.75% weight. I have no TOI, which. has been favourably mentioned here. Some time ago I realized I was overdiversifies and had too many holdings; I have been reducing the overall number of positions held; it is no longer as big a problem but still could do with some more reduction over time. With all that in mind:
1. Do you see CSU and TOI as one position, or are they sufficiently different to count as 2?
2. If you were me, would you simply sell CTS and add to CSU?
3. Sell CTS & some CSU and add TOI?
4. Sell some CSU and add to CTS?
5. Sell a bit more CSU and add to CTS and buy some TOI?
thanks for your excellent service.

Q: In my unregistered account (focus on low-debt, low volatility, dividend payers, and about 1/3 of total portfolio) my only real estate exposure is CRT.UN (5% of account, 1.8% of total portfolio). I have similar level of investment in CTC.
Would it make sense to replace CRT.UN with BAM.A, realizing that BAM would have much more than real estate (I have quite a bit of other renewable power elsewhere) and I'd be giving up around 3% dividends in the move.
Or a different REIT?
Time horizon 5 - 7 years.
Thanks for all your advice & guidance.

Q: At one time I owned CSU (bought at $110 and sold at $600) and regretted the decision ever since. The money was needed for a real estate purchase in Toronto. I purchased SHOP at $40 and I have not sold any shares. I was considering selling 50% of my SHOP and buying CSU for a long term hold.
Many thanks for your comments.

Q: Happy Easter everyone, I wanted to get your thoughts on the recent earnings for LULU if you would be a buyer at the $300 level . Additionally with the reopening in view what are your thoughts on Nike and Under armer as well? I feel that with the nicer weather and lifting of restrictions people might start thinking about getting back into shape before everything reopens.

Looking forward to your insights,
