My portfolio is 12% ADR 19% US stocks 31% in the TSX and the rest fixed income.The ADR and US stocks are in US dollars. As my bonds mature, would it be more advantageous to put the cash in US dollars and invest in the US market considering the strength compared to the Canadian market?

Q: KMP/MRC
Please enlighten me as to the differences between REITS and R/E Corps other than paying dividends vs distributions. Since the Corps have fallen with the sell-off in the REIT sector, are they likely to be negatively affected in the same way as REITS if interest rates rise and should they be bought, sold or held through this time? Thanks.
Q: Open text Corp (OTC) certainly has been on a tear recently. When I first looked at it in March it was trading at $59.95 today it is trading at $74.88. It even pays a small dividend. Looking at the technicals offered by webroker the stock could reach $117.00 to $133.00.
What are your thoughts on this stock?
Thanks
Q: Brookfield Property Partners, BPY.UN, is held by the public as limited partnership units and by controlling owner BAM as "Redeemable Exchangeable Units". Is it unusual to have a LP with differing types of units and if so are the public units at a disadvantage because of the difference?
Q: Hi Team,
If Keyera (KEY) gets back to support at $47.00, that would be a yield of about 4.6% and current P/E of about 27. Would that be a good entry point or is it too soon or too late.
Thanks for your answer.

Q: Comment on 'REITS and diversification' response:
"as long as REITs/utilities do not make up ALL of your portfolio ... if you are diversified you are fine."
I recently read where the average persons assets are mainly in his home which he hopes to sell upon retirement. Perhaps this should be taken into account re diversification as well.
