Q: Would you buy XYZ at this price $50 for maybe a 1 year hold as a trade?

Q: If I sell BN for a tax loss, can I buy BAM the same day?
Thx Judy

Q: Your thoughts on earnings, please.

Q: PRL came in with strong earnings a few days ago. Whereas GSY has been on a steady downturn lately and is down 8.5% today alone. I would have thought they would trade somewhat in sympathy with each other being in the same industry ..... I'm down about 20 % on GSY right now and considering abandoning it for greener pastures ..... If it were to at least level out I would be inclined to stay the course but it isn't ..... Need 5i advice on first what is going on ? And second why it is going on ? Thanks for your terrific service ......

Q: Could you please comment on Brookfield Corp earnings. Thank You

Q: I believe ISV reports. May have your comments. What was the dividend increase at TMX?

Q: Wondering your thots on buying Berkshire B currently in view of how strong the stock price has been and if u would buy what level u wud be comfortable paying.

If a third of the company is Cash n one is paying something around 1.6 Book it is expensive Cash at today’s levels .. understandably one is buying management’s ability to deploy that Cash.


Over the past years what range of multiples has BRK.B traded at vs today’s comparable multiples?

Q: I am considering selling off my shares of BEPC and using proceeds to buy BN. I know BEPC has a larger dividend - will BN's growth be able to overcome the loss in dividends?

Q: Hi team,
Can you comment on Gsy earnings. What was expected for numbers? It seems revenue growth was much slower than normal here for these guys. Concerning?

Thanks ,

Q: I was under impression from your answers on BN and BAM that BN would outperform BAM in share price since BAM pays a dividend. Looking at both stocks the opposite is happening. BAM is outperforming BN and even more so when the div is included. Could you confirm? If my observation is correct could you explain how this is happening? Again, if i am correct and BN was your holding, would you switch to BAM? At this point i am not looking for a div so i would be fine with dripping. Is there a possibility of this trend reversing? I guess i could own both. what would be the split ratio that would reflect the relationship between BN and BAM that you would suggest?

Q: The above private equities companies have taken a significant dive over the last few months, disproportionally volatile coamoted to the SP500. Can you please

1. Comment on the reasons for market underperformance in this sector

2. Are any of these must owns ? (I know BN is a favourite of your’s, I own a 3% position)

3. Can you rank them in terms of preference for total return over 5 to 10 years? I am open to you including onex in the list.

4. if I wanted to increase my exposure to financial (I am underweight financials, and moreso on the US side), would you look to topping Brookfield or adding a second name?

5. How much sector exposure to this sub sector would you recommend in terms of Portolio allocation for a growth invester?

Thank you and please deduct credits as you deem necessary.

Best,
Karim.

Q: Could you please comments on the results and dividend raise.

Do you think, this earnings report is good enough to remove the recent overhang on the stock ?

Thank You

Q: Please comments on the Intact Financial earnings.

Are you concerned about the performance in UK&I ?

Stock has been very strong, going into earnings. Do you see more room to run ?

Thank You

Q: What’s your opinion of BAM’s result of Q1FY25 published this morning? What’s your opinion of the outlook? How can they invest, build and grow the business when, as I understand it, BAM’s strategy is to return most of the FFO generated to shareholders?

Q: Could you please provide street estimates for IFC. Thank You

Q: Your comments on earnings (X) please

Q: Could you please give me your thoughts on PayPal? I know you have said before you prefer other names in the space. PayPal reported earnings last week and revenue is still falling. Unbranded TPV is really dropping. But growth in branded experiences and Venmo are accelerating. Management is trying hard and am wondering if I should give them a few more quarters. Thanks.

Q: Considering adding to a small position that I'm even on, according to RBC, there are only 4 analysts covering this stock, 1 sell, 1 hold and 2 buys. I know 5i highly regards this company, in my mind for a good reason, I would have thought it would have more than 4 analysts and would have had a better rating. Curious why someone would rate it a sell?
