Q: I own the above companies with the following corresponding weighting:
2.6%;1.3%;2.2%;2.5%;2.7%;2.2%. I am looking at the possibility of doing some consolidating - what are your thoughts on consolidating? If I consolidate - what 1 or possibly 2 companies would you eliminate and what 1 or 2 companies would you add to?
Use as many of my questions as you need and thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Can you explain the rationale for recent move of the selling of shares by the major shareholders? They sold at quite a discount to where the stock has been. None of the funds raise will be used by the company. My understanding is that they hold 500M and could only sell 140M. Plus expectation is to list on a major exchange - is this signalling that won't happen soon. Thanks

Q: Can I get your thoughts on Brookfield's (BAM.a) earnings, today, vs expectations.

What do you think of their valuation against the backdrop of a diminishing FFO (Scotia estimates: 2019 FFO of $3.78 vs 2020 FFO of $3.75)

Lastly, can you comment on their debt levels. Looks like a significant decrease in debt levels in expected in 2019.

Thanks.

Q: HI Team,
Could you please comment on Medipharm's recent Q1 earnings. The market reaction appears flat with a run up beforehand. Growth looks good and I like the model, though have a hard time wrapping my head around the current valuation of around 700M, having only a couple small properties (one in Barrie and one in Australia) with apprx 60 employees. I know this market is inflated, however I believe the extract business is a good play. Is Medipharm a strong front runner in Canada in its field? What do you think of its valuation compared to its potential growth as well as its current earnings?

Cheers,

Q: I'm currently looking to start a new position and am looking for a company with the potential to add a bit of torque potential to the portfolio. Would LSPD fit the bill as far as a Canadian listing, and are there any US companies that you believe might also provide fit the bill? This is a fairly risk tolerant position.
Thank you
