Q: Is there a site which lists the preferred share reset dates for the TSX. If not is it possible for you to list a few that reset after October 1 and rank them from best to worst?
Thanks as always, Bryan

Q: To my knowledge cancer is showing no signs of going away and yet these companies and others in the field have been punished with the rest of the market. Can you please provide an attractive entry point for each and state which 1 or 2 would be your favourite and why? If you can add one additional name that you think has tremendous potential in this field I would be appreciative. If that requires a second credit go ahead and take it!

Q: I am looking at your answer to evaluating investment quality of REITS in which you note three important ratios to consider - Interest coverage ratio (EBITDA/interest of 3X or higher)), debt to equity - below 1.0x) and NOI or net operating income. I see you give EBIT margin and Net Profit margin in your company profiles but I was wondering if it was possible to calculate NOI from these tables. Are there any other important ratios one could use to compare various REITS. Finally, how would you rank the three REITS I have noted here. Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i,

I read a response to a previous question, which suggested investors who own their home already have sufficient allocation to the Real Estate sector. Just want to make sure I understand correctly before eliminating the sector from my watchlist.

Still, if I was to include a couple of REITs, what is your opinion of CAR.UN and AMT?

Q: Hello Peter,

Other than nice dividend, do you see much growth in pembina pipeline and would you consider it as long term hold? Also, as IPL , do you see potential takeover for PPL? I already own ENB, and TRP. I own some PPL and want to add more.. With respect to IvanHoe Electric, do you think it is too early to jump in? Thanks very much

Q: Could you suggest a few dividend focused ETFs for a taxable account to 'park' money that will not be needed for a few years ? I purchased UTIL because I liked its holdings but am concerned about its trading volume. I already own XEI and ZDV.

Q: Hi,
I own CSH.UN and am thinking of selling it and buying Sienna Senior Living but a friend of mine has suggested Freehold Royalties.
Both completely different market segments but could you give me your thoughts on these based on an income portfolio.
The money being invested is not a large portion of my portfolio but don't want to loose it either.
Or is Chartwell a keep?

Thanks
Warren
