Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Good morning - I'm looking at my current BEPC holdings which are in a loss position. I also have BIPC ( gain position at this time), BAM and BN. I'd like your thoughts on whether to sell both BEPC and BIPC and increase both my BAM and BN. I like BEPC but am not emotionally attached to it. Best Brookfield moves for someone with say ten year investment horizon and a desire for dividends? Thanks

Q: We have BN (full position) and BAM in Canadian $ accounts. 5i appears to consider these very good choices for part of a portfolio foundation. Do you have similar choices to recommend that we could put in our US$ accounts (TFSA, RRIF) ?
Thank you, as always.

Q: Good morning - I sold an interest in BEPC to generate losses over thirty days ago. My intention was to buy back in as I do like the whole Brookfield family. I still have BEPC plus positions in BIPC and BN. I do like dividends but I have a ten year horizon and am wondering which Brookfield to purchase. Your guidance would be appreciated. Thanks Al

Q: It seems that the BAM stock had a split on Dec 12 2022.

4 old BAM shares gave rise 1 BN share & 4 new BAM shares.

On Dec 9 ( a Friday), the Value of old BAM was us$43.15

On Dec 12 (the next Monday), BN was valued at US$33.64 and new BAM was valued at US$32.40.

So the 4 shares valued at us$172.60 before the split were worth US$163.24 after the split.

FYI, I am using avg prices as reported on Google Finance. It seems like a 5% drop on Day 1.

Questions:

1. Is my calculation correct?
2. are the prices of BAM and BN on Dec 12 2022 dependent on the Dec price on Dec 9 2022 or determined well in advance?

Thanks

Q: I want to invest US$5000 in either BN, BAM or VICI for some growth and decent dividend. Growth is more important. Which would you prefer today with a 2 year outlook

Q: I’m looking to diversify the financial part of my portfolio by adding a US insurance company. Can I get your thoughts on Progressive (seems to just go up & to the right) or other insurance stocks.
Thanks.

Q: I get confused when you rated slf over ifc for a 5 year hold, I agree it has a higher dividend, but you say slf will have better growth. Is not return on investment the growth that i should be measuring. ifc has blown slf out of the park in the last 10 years, not even close and they are still doing it right now.
