Q: Could I get your take on REITs at these levels. I thought they would have held up much better in this current meltdown. Are investors just dumping them because they think tenants are going bankrupt and default on their lease agreements? What is your opinion on FCR.UN? or do you prefer HR.UN? Thanks Ron

Q: Hi,
I just received your market update and was a bit caught off guard that you have decided to remove MX from the BP. While I am not surprised, it was somewhat irksome as I had sold it in January and had just purchased it back the other day. My question is, based on my much lower entry point, does a hold make sense at this point?

Q: Are there any companies out there now with an 8% or higher dividend that you would suggest for a long term hold? I say 8, bc it hasn’t been overly hard to find 4-5 before this carnage. I picked up ENB already, and I’m ok if the short/med term div is cut and the price falls further. I’m really looking for stocks that will likely pay a high stable dividend into the future (based on current prices) after things return to normal. No preference on sector.

Q: Given Doug Fords news this morning, will stock prices quickly factor in the disruption to business, making stock market prices attractive for purchase in the near future, or will they be cheaper after they start to report their losses? Which stocks might be attractive now which ones are better to hold off on?
Q: seem to have a lot of questions about the safety of dividends and will they be cut.
I thought I would add another one to the fire and ask you power corp. and power financial became one company now and the management said it would raise dividend 10% in second quarter. do you see this being in jeopardy now with the market tanking day after day. do you also see banks possibly not raising dividends anymore this year [Canadian] until things get better hopefully.

Q: I am thinking of buying Invescom Can Div ETF (PDC):
- is your opinion favourable?
- the volume is 30/40,000 out of capitalization of about $500 million. Do you agree that this is low liquidity?
- Is there a rule of thumb to apply in this case as to the number of shares to place a buy order with such low volume?
