Q: I was looking to replace AAR.UN with an industrial reit. I found WIR.U which has P/E of 9.12 and DIR.UN has P/E of 26.19. Both are not 100% industrial reit. I will appreciate if you could give me some info on how come DIR.UN is having such high P/E? Or you can suggest some reit which has more growth rather then yield.

Q: Would like clarity on what 5i defines as a position. My understanding is that if I buy a stock/ETF etc that I have a position. That is how I find it defined in literature. In reading your Q&A I see references to 1/2 a position, 3/4 of a position. Is this a dollar value or % of a portfolio?

Q: Hello,
I'm wondering if you have any update on Snipp Interactive? It is a very small cap but appears to be growing. No analysts, but Thompson Reuters seems to like it more recently.-
"The score for Snipp Interactive Inc reached its 3-year high of 7 this week.
- The recent change in the Average Score was primarily due to an improvement in the Price Momentum and Risk component scores".

I'd appreciate your fine insights.
Thanks,
Brian

Q: MAXR has been beaten up recently and justifiably so due to its expanding debt and poor earnings forecast. Lately they have been issuing a few press releases detailing new contracts, some from repeat customers. The contracts don't seem large enough to have a material impact on the company but they are good news none-the-less. The stock appeared to bounce on Friday up 3%. I am thinking of averaging down to my very long held position. The weighting would increase from 1.7% to 2% so I wouldn't be risking too much. Any comments or concerns?
Thanks,
Jim

Q: Park Lawn made another drop on Thursday based I assume on its earnings announcement. It would appear that profit dropped , despite increased sales. However it also appears cash flow was much stronger and I think it may be a great opportunity to add more. Am I reading this correctly?

Q: Can you comment on Park Lawn's earnings, released on March 28? There seems to be a lot of moving parts with one time items all over the place, making it a little difficult to objectively assess.

Can you also comment on their debt profile?

Thanks.
