Q: It has taken a stunning and steady drop. When markets are up 300 points or down 300 points it still goes down.

1 year - (20%)
YTD - (16%)

To me this isn't a question is there any recent news to cause this drop, but more like what is happening to this company and why?

It's ranked 6/10 by TipRanks and a SB.

So on a longer term look back why the steady drop? and what will turn this around in the future?

Thanks


Sheldon

Q: Good afternoon,
Very curious on your thoughts regarding Alaris' latest investment. Mostly preferreds at high rates, and some common. Sounds like a Berkshire-type of deal, with the preferreds playing such a large role. Seems out of the ordinary for them -- from my limited knowledge -- and does it de-risk the units somewhat, or add to the risk.
Thank you as always

Q: Further to Stephen's posting about BIP USD dividend discrepancies Sep 11, 2025. We have noted similar issues with BIP, BAM and BIPC in our Questrade accounts. We have asked our broker to request Brookfield to pay our dividends directly in USD. This is possible according to Brookfield's websites.

Summarized below from : https://bip.brookfield.com/bipc/stock-dividends/dividend-history

Currency Option
The quarterly dividend payable on the Brookfield Infrastructure Corporation’s Class A shares are declared in U.S. dollars.

....

Canadian Beneficial Shareholders
Canadian beneficial shareholders whose shares are registered in the name of CDS or a name other than their own name (i.e., generally those holding their Class A shares with a Canadian brokerage), should contact their broker if they would like to receive the dividends in U.S. dollars.

Q: This is not a question but an observation. I do mortgage default work, and Goeasy got into the 2nd mortgage business in the past few years, and those loans in Ontario, at least, are underwater. On the two files I saw just this past week. They will suffer a complete loss because, unlike 1st mortgage loans with banks, they are not insured. I don't know how much of their portfolio is in the 2nd mortgages. As of their investor presentation from August 2025 and Q3 2025 results, 39% of their total loan portfolio is secured by hard assets, which include real estate, as well as automotive and recreational vehicles. The presentation does not indicate the % related to real estate loan porfolio.

Q: Hey 5i, these consumer staple stocks have basically done nothing over the last 10yrs. They used to be a place to go when you were concerned about market pricing with a little growth and a dividend. Have things fundamentally changed or is everyone just obsessing over AI and technology and forgetting this sector. Also is there anything buyable in the sector with some growth and a dividend.
