Q: Why have the private equity stocks in US, been under pressure, for past 2 weeks ?

With a much higher intrinsic value, never thought that BN could trade as low as $74, after hitting a high of $90, not long ago.

Is there any reason, specific to Brookfield Corp, or it's just the market and sector decline ?

Thank You

Q: Hello,

I hold BNS:CA for dividends. It has been dropping in price recently and I am looking to add to my position. I seem to remember it is a long term favourite within the bank stocks. Given the current Canadian and global "uneasieness", would your opinion change or would shift to TD:CA or XXX:CA (a bank) be in order. I have read the recent Q/A re: BNS:CA in the database,

Q: Hi,

The Financial Times this week published an article about Brookfield Corporation questioning how much money it really makes due to its “opacity.”

I would be most interested in your take on the reporting. https://www.ft.com/content/6e070b14-74cc-4ade-bd80-7bd3900c6a82

Thanks very much. Michael

Thoughts on RBC’s quarter. Seems decent on most metrics but guessing that the pressure on the price today may be related to higher than expected PCLs?

Q: Hi 5i, I know you don't like to discuss politics, but I'm getting worried that there might be some political risk creeping up on BN. Last night during the LPC debate one of the candidates opening lied about knowing BN's planned move to the US, announced Oct 31st and letter sent to shareholders on Dec 1st, signed by person lying who resigned on Jan 17th from their board. Should I worry about BN's entanglement in this factual matter?

Thx
