Q: I notice that this company pays a monthly stock dividend plus CIL(cash in lieu). I have been told that there is no taxation in a non-registered account until the security is sold. I have never seen this with any other stocks I own. Can I get your opinion on the advantages or disadvantages of this type of dividend payment?

Q: hello 5i .. I have the following REITs (and % of my portfolio): BPY.un (1.5%), CAR.UN (3%), CHP.Un (2%), CRT.UN (1.5%), IIP.UN (1.7%), .. for a 60-yr-old dividend investor, does it make any sense to simply life by selling these and buying an ETF like XRE or VRE? ... or is the status quo the way to go? thanks!

Q: could you give me more details about how these debentures work?
with a price around 129 $, what is the current yield?
Are they trading is US or CAD ?
I understand that at the end of march of each year the company can announce that they redeem them in a 5 year period. Hypothetically, lets say I buy them today at 129$ and on March 31th 2020 they announce the will rebuy them (at par, so @100$ ) in march 2025. What would be the reaction of the market on the next day. Would the price slowly goes down on a 5 year period ?
What influence the debenture price ? (how CSU is going, interest rate, something else)?
I also have 5 % in my portfolio in CSU, if I had debentures up to 5 %, would you see that as a concentration risk ?
Would you have a few similar products to suggest in other quality companies ?

Q: I see the value of that stock always going down. I would have thought that they would benefit from a lower yield like the REITs, but it doesn't seem to be the case. Could you give me your opinion on this stock and what could happen to it if the Fed continue to lower the yield? Should I continue to hold expecting an improvement or accept a big loss and sell it now?

Thanks

Q: Hello, could I have your thoughts on the recent PAYS revenue guidance (didn't seem bad) and stock drop under $10 now.

Also just a thank you as I do read lots of negative comments on the board and people tend to cherry pick one big loss (TSGI, COV for recent ones). Anyways I wanted to add that you have liked/loved some awesome stocks that haven't gotten attention because they aren't Canadian or in your portfolio. Examples - AYX and TEAM, massive gains since these stocks were first in your Q&A and you had positive comments on questions.
