Q: I have 7% of my portfolio in AAR.UN,Pure Ind. REIT, my only exposure to the REIT sector.I'm up about 40%& have enjoyed a 9% div. based on my purchase price 5 years ago.Income is not a big factor for me.Does Pure have enough growth potential, particularly in the US, to offset the expected interest raises in 2017 & further out?Should I keep Pure or sell in favour of ZUB, the BMO Equal Weighted US Banks Hedged to the Cdn.Index ETF? Would unhedged be better at this stage? My only US exposure is indirectly through TD & SIS.
Thanks,
Dave

Q: Hi Peter and gang,
EIF's EPS(TTM) is $1.82 and it pays a monthly dividend of $0.1750 which translates into an annual didvidend of $2.01. If my calculations are correction, EIF's payout ratio is then 110%. Would you please comment on the sustainability of EIF's current dividend payout. Also please provide comment on this company going forward.
As always, good works fellas. Regards!

Q: Peter and staff
A great number of my stock picks are based around your assessment of the company and I thank you for all this good advice
In your 3 portfolios 10 of the holdings are down 10% or more for this year.
My risk tolerance red light snaps on when when a stock is down 10% or goes below the 40 DMA.I do look at some factors for the reason but maybe not the right ones.Many times I have sold only to see the holding come back and continue to grow.
What criteria do you use to continue to hold a stock even when you are down a fairly significant amount?
Thanks and have a great holiday and 2017.

Q: Hi Peter and Ryan, I'm just making sure I understand the withdrawal rules correctly in dealing with TFSA accounts. I have some cash accumulated from the payments of dividends during the last few months in my TFSA. Am I allowed to withdraw say $2,000.00 in cash from my TFSA account in the next few days (before December 31). Then after Jan 1st, 2017, does my new limit for 2017 become $7,500.00? If so can I transfer (in kind) shares from a cash account worth $7,500.00 into my TFSA without issues? Thank you so much for all you do and all the best in the new year. Mario.
