Q: I want to increase my holdings in real estate as a contrarian play, and also increase my received dividends.
I am looking at SOT.UN and it has an expected dividend of over 9% and earnings that are more than double that. It made a deal with Fortis recently, and Fortis received shares as part of the deal. I figure Fortis is pretty astute. I would be interested in your opinion.
Is there anything to read into the fact that no questions have been asked about this company on your website. I like to buy things whilst they are still "under the radar"?

Q: Hello Team, I am looking at an Income Portfolio and thinking about adding either PIC.PR.A or PIC.A or both, but I am leaning on PIC.PR.A that distributes a 5.75% steady dividend distribution. I am looking at a 5% weighting. Can you provide your opinion on this fund which utilizes a covered call practice on mostly the financial bank sector?
