Q: Hello 5i Team,

I have read your previous responses on Alternative Asset Management providers and particularly your thoughts on BN.

The above list of companies are likely to fall significantly in this down market and I was wondering at what prices would you buy and which are your favorites now.

Cheers and thank you in advance.

Q: Hello 5i,

Thanks for the detailed and quality answers during these "interesting" times. I know predictions are pretty much "off the table", but ... I wonder if you could ponder the chance over the next few years of a dividend cut at the Banks. (1 = impossible, 10 = possible if things get really bad).
Knowing that such an action would be a very tuff call for the banks to make. All Canadian banks in general, but specifically TD and BNS (which are some of my TSFA holdings and used to generate retirement dividend revenue.

Q: Good Evening
My question is about FC -Firm Capital Mortgage Corporation.
In your universe there are several convertible unsecured FC debentures but not the actual FC.
Can you please provide some information about this company. Their dividend was not cut since 2004. Is it suitable for an investor who is interested in relatively less risky investments with predictable income streams.
Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i Team,

You have in the past been very positive of BNS. I have held it for dividends (dollar cost averaging) and long term growth. It is also "Canadian". It has fallen in price since late last year, especially compared with TD. I would be interested in your opinion going forward and if you would be OK with adding to my position (new $$$). 3 to 5 year horizon.

Q: I'm considering taking a position in the sub-prime Canadian lenders. Between Propel and Goeasy, which one would you choose to maximize total returns given the current market price? Is there an advantage in holding both with a (50/50) position? Planned holding period is 3 to 5 years.

Thanks for the great service.

André

Q: What happens to the earnings of Propel if the US economy goes into recession? I’m confused because I have heard recessions cause more people to use their type of lending. Yet you would think defaults would rise significantly. What would the net effect be?

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I know this bank is out of your territory. However I would appreciate your opinion. I know it has done well in the last year but am wondering what are the odds that it may go higher. I have owned it for a long time. Not sure if I should lock in a profit or take the risk that it will go higher. Thanks...your opinion is always sobering!

Q: I own BN with no intention of selling, but I find the dividends of the other Brookfield's interesting for my RRSP account with the potential of some capital growth as well. I know this type of question has been asked in the past, but not since the market downturn. Would you see a benefit of owning any of the others along with BN, and if so, which ones, and what would your total percentage of Brookfield holdings be. Thanks!
