Q: Do you think LSPD has the long term potential to get a big as SHOP? I regret taking money off the table with SHOP as it climbed instead of just letting it ride. Don’t want to make the same mistake.

Q: BAM is scheduled to distribute shares of BAMR to existing shareholders via a dividend in the coming days. They indicated that it will have the same economic value as owing shares in BAM. By same economic value do they mean div yield will be same for both?

If BAMR is in the reinsurance business wont the yield/performance dictated by its performance on a standalone basis?

I do own BAM shares in my RRSP , I find their spinoffs, re-orgs always confusing. I would like to add shares of BAMR only if it a standalone business and hopefully achieves similar success as previous spinoffs ( including Trisura).

Thank you

Q: I have read the questions and answers regarding the spin off by Brookfield Asset Management, of the reinsurance business but I remain confused. Their press release calls the new shares "exchangeable". What will they be exchangeable into? Also; the press release says that these new shares "are intended to provide investors with the equivalent economic exposure to Brookfield but through an alternative security through which to hold their interests in Brookfield's business". Why would anyone want such an "alternative security" and how can these shares be economically equivalent? The reinsurance business company will own completely different assets from Brookfield Asset Management.
Thanks for your help.
