Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Would you agree that all things being equal lack of diversification and realtors commissions means owning a REIT is a better way to play real estate than investing directly in rental properties? Bearing in mind the long term advantage of 5:1 mortgage leverage it seems that things are not equal and the advantage is currently with rental properties over a time horizon of twenty years or more .

Do you know any REITs in Canada or the US that employ the same kind of leverage? This would be especially useful when investing in the US market, as maintaning a property far away is highly stressful.

Q: Hi 5i,

Your thoughts on GPE (Great Prairie Energy Services)? Seems like a very cheap growth company with solid management and board. Your thoughts? Would you recommend this for an early stage, high risk / high reward stock?

Q: Good morning. Could you please provide your updated thoughts on Counsel CXS? I appreciate that the stock gained substantially in 2013, but it's down about 30% from its $3.00 high last October. I'm happy to continue to hold it if you think it might recover. Otherwise, take my loss and move on. Thanks.

Q: Hi, I am retired and own 5 reits amongst others. MRT.UN represents 2.48% of total portfolio.I can't understand the lack of coverage by investment professionals regarding MRT.UN. I think this reit should be regarded as a good investment for retirees looking for income and a bit of growth.
Your thoughts, please

Q: A comment only, to add to your excellent reply to Paul re stop losses. There is a lot more to them than most people realize, even more difficult than when to sell. And I have the scars to agree with 5i Research about them not using them. The only time I would consider them anymore is when I feel a stock is reaching the top from a technical standpoint or of my objective but I want to wait to see if it can stretch out a little more. Then I might set it fairly tightly and watch it closely.
