It's possible that some of the increases were hidden behind the rounding, so I apologize if I misled anyone.

Thanks for the info. This is a great article. With all the bad CIBC news we are hearing, is this a good time to buy? Or bump it? And if you already own some shares. Will you be buying anymore? Hi!

Not at a great pace, mind you, but at a 2% to 3% clip, enough to keep pace with inflation. With REITs that's pretty much what you can expect. https://riocan.com/_bin/distributions/dates.cfm FJ: I double checked RioCan’s distribution history and they are regularly increasing their distributions.

FJ: Some people like David Swensen argue that real estate is between stocks and bonds in the risk-reward spectrum. Others say that RE offers equity-like returns. Either way, even a 7% return that at least partially keeps pace with inflation when long bonds are yielding 4% isn't such a bad deal, IMHO. GIV: I'm not very familiar with AX.UN but the entire sector is down sharply. I'm about 50% in and if it falls even more from here, I'll add to my positions.

My once-awesome AX.UN units are now worth about the same as when I bought them more 2 years ago. Ironically, if it weren't for the DRIP, I'd be in the red, but thankfully, I've reinvested the distributions into new units. But yeah, I can't for the life of me figure out the hate-on people have for REITs. Aren't they supposed to do well during times of incertainty? What gives? I'll keep holding, but it's very strange...
