Q: Recently an analyst specializing on REITs said "We believe the ability for select names to maintain current distribution levels is ‘below average’, including Dream Office REIT, European Residential REIT, Extendicare Inc.,, Melcor REIT, Northwest Healthcare Properties REIT, etc. "
Does this mean there is a strong possibility that the distributions will be cut for the above noted REITs ?
Thank you as always for your insight.

Q: Hi Guys,
I'm looking at a couple of smaller oil and gas companies and wanted to get your thoughts. i3 Energy and Gear Energy. Both of them got into a little trouble this year when they implemented a unstainable dividend. Their dividends have been dropped to a sustainable level, but both of their share prices took a pretty good hit for that. However it looks like they have good cash flow, both are paying down debt, and they seem to have pretty good land packages. I was thinking with all the cash floating around the oil patch right now, both would be pretty good takeout targets. Curious on your thoughts and if they would be a good hold.
Thanks,

Q: I currently have positions in HYG ( a bit underwater but no reason to sell) and am considering switching HYG for TLT. The current yield is lower, it seems, but the chances for a long term gain look more inviting. Your thoughts on TLT would be much appreciated. Good idea to switch?

Q: Everyone, I have some capital to invest in the tech sector, specifically LMN, for a long term hold. The market is in a downward trend and I am not interested in catching a falling knife but I was contemplating investing half in October and the other half in November OR should I wait to invest half in November and half in December? Your thoughts. Clayton
Q: Hi 5i Team - Should DCM's recent and steady decline be of concern and is its balance sheet in decent shape. Also is this a growth stock or more of a value stock. Some time ago it did an acquisition which had an immediate and continuing positive effect on the stock price but the enthusiasm seems to be fading. Do you expect there will more acquisitions in the coming months/years. Also is insider ownership fairly substantial and is it growing or declining. Thanks.
Q: I'm down 22% on Bank of NovaScotia. If history repeats again I should double down. I've lived thru cycles where the banks pay a yield over 5% and each time their price goes up and as a result yield goes to a more normal rate. I already have a 5% weighting on this stock, and my rule is not to go any higher, but this is so tempting. "Chasing yield". Where can I find charts showing prime rate vs BNS yield to compare over a 20 year period.

Q: Hi Team,
Reading up on your prior responses about this company, what would it take for you to be more comfortable with this company?
It seems to have a lot of government support as well - but so did XBC and I do hope it is not following the same path...
