Q: What's your view on the idea of opening up Canadian Banking to more competition and the effect it will have on their share prices. Will they still be a 'go to' for Canadian investors or do you anticipate a sharp decline? Great service, thanks.

Q: Propel stock had, lately been doing well, hitting a high of $42, late January, after an analyst upgrade. Today, a month later, it has done full circle, back to $34.50, where, it was trading since October, 2024.

Is this just profit taking or a shadow of the big brother GSY ( just reported ), in your view, or something has changed ( Trump jitters ) ?

Do you still continue to expect excellent growth ( UK acquisition etc ) and would be comfortable adding after this pullback ?

Thank You

Q: Am I reading this right, so BN no longer owns the 76% of BAM's asset mgmt business? How much does BN still own of BAM the company?

Finally, last week we closed the previously announced transaction between BAM and Brookfield Corporation, and as a result, BAM, with 1.6 billion shares now outstanding, owns the entire asset management business at an equity market capitalization approaching $100 billion.”

Q: Could you please comment on Fairfax Financial Quarterly/FY earnings released today.

We own Intact Financial, but are looking to add another P&C Insurance Co. ( which also is in asset management business - we already have Brookfield Corp. }

Fairfax seems to be executing very well and stock performance supports this thesis.
Company is also buying back its stock, aggressively.

How do you assess and rate this Co. , on valuation, debt, risk and consistency of Growth over long period of time ?

Would you be comfortable to start a new position or add at current levels ?

Thank You

Q: At 62, I purchased MFC as a fairly stable income stock with some growth. Its growth over the past year has surprised me and I have substantial unrealized gains in an unregistered account. Which is all to the good, but the stock has been trending fairly steadily down the last three months. Did it get too expensive or is this sector-related? I note SLF has also done nothing good the last three months. Do you see further downward momentum (especially if inflation worries come back) or a return to stability for MFC? If the former, would you advise a trade to a more stable company/sector and if so which?
