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

Q: Any thoughts on ARE's recent acquisition of Voltage Power. I see that ARE has been in the "middle of the pack" in your Q&A. Neither at the top nor at the bottom. Can you foresee it reaching 21 $ again as they seem to be slowly and steadily acquiring companies that give them good growth potential.
Thanks in advance.

Q: Hi 5i, I own a LOT of Tesla. I believe in the company a LOT for it's future potential for many reasons I think not yet understood by many of the analysts and the general public. The recent increase in Tesla, including +850 today, has been quite nice to be a part of, but is I believe is driven by "some" hype and is very unhealthy for things to move that quickly. Slow progressive growth being more stable and sustainable. Peter, can you weigh in with some comments on any similiar dramatic price action you have seen in your career and whatever advice you might like to offer. Thanks Peter.

Q: I bought Roku a few months ago in my rrsp and resp and have lost money since. Do you still like this name? I don’t know whether to sell it now and take the loss or see how it goes when it report, although I’m worried about a big pullback of expectations are not met. I only want to own stocks that are going up and if they aren’t going up anymore, I get a strong feeling not to own them. Thanks.

Q: I acquired shares of HR.UN twice in 2013 and then in 2018 such that I now have 500 shares at a cost basis of $21.28 per share. So I have a capital gain of only 3.6% now, but of course have harvested dividends on a monthly basis all that time. Obviously I am a 'buy and hold' type of investor predominantly.
I am retired and this holding is in my RIF so the dividend income is very relevant to me.
Is it time to switch into another REIT for the next 7 y or so or should I just stay where I am, in your opinion. If I was to sell, what would be your top 3 REITs to consider with no regard to type of property holdings?
With thanks, gary

Q: I realize you prefer AW over PZA. I have owned PZA for some time now down about 20%....I can't make a strong enough case to replace PZA with AW to more closely match your portfolio. With the drop it is below a full position so technically needs to be topped up as I free up some cash. Can you make a case for selling PZA or do I just continue to hold it as a surrogate for AW in my portfolio. I am leaning towards topping up PZA to a full position and getting 8.9% yield off the div....
