My order for BPY.UN was filled today at 23.60 ended the day at 23.44. This is my first addition from the Brookfield family. Have now placated my REIT replacement.
Once funds are in TFSAs, will probably buy 300ZRE in one and 500 XRE in another.
Only REIT I have is Riocan. Long held and in a taxable account with a big CG. So it stays there.
I do have bonds & debentures issued by RE companies. Bought those instead of the equity when yields were not too much different. Less chance of losses and fixed maturity is nice. I would buy more if I could find them.
Topped up my TFSA and bought more VDY, ZDV and ZAG. Looks like markets are basically at all time highs, so not a terrific buying day, but the TFSA money was itching to be deployed.
My speculative investment for 2020 is (CVE: XBC) Xebec Adsorption Inc. Profitable small cap in an extremely fast growing market with a huge backlog of orders.
I have very little U.S.exposure except for a small position in Costco. Bought MSFT, AAPL, FB and the BMO US Equal Weight Bank ETF - ZBK.TO
I don't usually buy at highs but this market is now making a new high every day. I don't see a crash before the election. More of my scattered reasoning documented here; https://thestockmarketspeculator.blogspot.com/2020/01/im-still-buying-because-stocks-are.html
Added to TRP, SU, IPL. TRP seems over-bought, but I am underweight on pipelines, so I added some anyway. I have not added SU since before the COS swap.
Bought a 3 year Concentra GIC at 2.23% mainly to fill a hole in my ladder. But I also think this is an attractive rate, as bond market yields are rapidly falling and I suspect GIC (and cash) rates will decline as well, soon.
Many of us won't go chasing rates. Been there, done that. We make decisions to give up some yield to concentrate our accounts to 1-2 financial institutions.
Added a bit more to a growing position in Gildan Active Wear ....great company but I admit they should do a bit better as they use only US cotton, spin their yarn in the USA, make the textiles in the Dominican & Honduras, they dont do the sweat shop thing or use China.
They are a Quebec headquartered firm so should benefit from treatment like SNC & Bombardier if required.
I wear their t shirts and like them...I think in today's emphasis on ethical employers Gildan is doing a better job than Apple and others exploiting China and their rewarding the abuse of human rights etc.. (Plus I think I will make out like a bandit long term).
Don't know if I have ever worn one, but maybe. I prefer collared versions.
