CT REIT (Canadian Tire) vs. Choice Properties (Loblaw) based on dividends for seniors He likes both REITs. Both dividends are safe, Choice paying 5.4% and CT 4.9%, and both well run. He owns Choice and bullish their outlook. He likes Loblaw as an operator and there is opportunity here. CT is very stable, with their development in Toronto's Yonge/Eglinton, a fantastic location, but very patient with this coming online in several phases.

80% of its assets are retail. He shies away from retail, but Loblaw owns half of those assets, which is stable and boasts high rent collection. The company is in good hands and the dividend is safe. Managers are doing a good job to diversify into apartments and industrial spaces to diversify away from retail.

It has L-T as their largest tenant. He thinks very highly of management. The stock is pretty well valued today. It is a very safe company.

(A Top Pick Mar 29/19, Up 6%) This REIT that merged with Canadian REIT. You're getting the Canadian REIT management running this. Intensification with mixed used developments in their Loblaw locations is positive. One of the premier choices.
