Q: Just a follow-up to Les’ question about finding total returns for a company. Doesn’t the 5i interactive graph just show the percentage increase in share price, not total returns including dividends?

Q: Good morning,
I own a 3% position in BIPC and smaller positions in BBUC and BBU.UN. I was thinking of selling all three and adding to BN before the split. I also own BEP.UN.,BAM, BEPC and BN. This is in non -reg account. Since they are relatively small gains, taxes are not an issue. Thanks, Paul

Q: Would you throw some light on “ provision for credit losses “ ( PCL ) that the banks use in their financial statements. It seems to have a significant impact on earnings. How is it determined ? Analysts take it as a poor contributor to earnings. If a bank lowers its PCL how does this actually increase its profitability ? Is there a formula to determine its PCL and how trustworthy is this ? Seems to me that a bank could alter the PCL number to better their numbers. Thanks. Derek.
