Q: I just rec'd a mgmt. information circular about a potential reverse exchange. They'd like to "issue exchangeable shares during the 12 month period from the date of the meeting, in connection with one or more exchange or similar transaction whereby holders of Brookfield Class A Share will be given the opportunity on a voluntary basis to exchange their Brookfield Class A Shares for newly-issued exchangeable shares on a one-for-one basis." Can you please provide a simpler explanation and how this is in the interest of the shareholder. Thanks!

Q: Happy New Year. Thanks for an amazing service.

I have small quantities of BAMR.US shares in multiple accounts. Would you add to this or sell it to clean up your accounts if you already hold BAM.A at 6%?

Thanks
Stew

Q: An equal number of shares of BAM and BAMR are being held in my portfolio. They have been considered economically equivalent, with a small premium on BAMR initially. Today, BAMR is performing much stronger than BAM.
What is the reason for disparity in the performance? Please kindly predict which one will have a superior performance for a longer term. Thank you for your great service. Bill.
