Q: Did BAM split? Thanks!

Q: Can I claim a loss for tax purposes on BAM if I purchase BN within 30 days of the sale of BAM?

Q: can you shed some light on why BAM shares had a substantial price drop on Friday ? Any correlation with the BN share split?

Q: Hi 5i: I have a full position in BN. Thinking of selling partial positions in BAM or BIP and/or PRL. In addition to add to the torque of RIFs considering adding partial positions in ZDC, VHI and ELVA. Please rank the order of the sells and the order of buys. Your opinion on this strategy is much valued. Thanks

Q: I have some money to deploy in my partner's TFSA and RRSP, and they currently have the following holdings. As we move towards retirement, the objective is to hold more income and defensive stocks. What three might you add today, and what three would sell from this list? Thank you for your insights.

Q: Brookfield and related entities. What percentage of total portfolio would YOU be comfortable holding. Right now I am at about 13% including BN, BAM, BEP, BIP and BIPC all held in a USD non-reg account. BN is largest holding in Portfolio.

Q: I am up on all the above listed stocks however down on AC, LMN, BCE, WELL, LLY, my question is should i sell some losers as well as some winners to shore up CSU (presently own 9 shares in my TSFA. Do you sees this as once in a lifetime opportunity to load up on arguably the best managed company in Canada i am leaning towards selling WMT and FFH in the winners column (both consist of 8% each of my portfolio what losers would you sell if wanted more exposure to CSU....your thought on this strategy please ps am 74 yrs old and a conserved investor

Q: You just published an excellent article by Michael Huynh on Canadian Companies that issue monthly dividends under certain criteria. Is there any chance you have the same criteria used on Canadian companies that issue quarterly dividends with the same criteria. With staggered investments I don't need to be that focused on monthly issuers.

Q: I have held BAM in a taxable account since the spin off.: position size of 1.65% and a gain of 109%. I also hold BN in both taxable and registered accounts: 2.97% position size and 60% gain. My aim going forward is to maximise growth. Is it a good idea to keep holding both or should I consolidate all into BN going forward? There are enough capital losses accrued to offset the capital gain on BAM if that is sold.

Q: Hello,

Is there a specific reason dragging BAM down in the short term? A good opportunity to complete a position?

Thanks

Q: What are your top highest conviction stocks right now for compound growth over next five years?

Q: Good afternoon,

My question relates to the above three stocks that are currently held in my US$ Non Registered Account but that could easily be held in my CDN$ Non Registered Account.

Q1. What are you thoughts on the direction of the US$ value vis a vis the CDN$ value in the short and medium term given the current Tariff situation and president Trump's strong and consistent pressure on the Chairman of the Federal Reserve to immediately lower interest rates by a substantial rate?

Q2. If our view is that the CDN$ may well increase in value when compared to the US$, does it make sense to journal these three stocks from a US$ Non Registered account to a CDN$ Non Registered account?

Thank you and I'll await your sage advice.

Q: I have about a 6-7% position in each of bep.un, bip.un and BN. I am thinking of adding a bit of BAM (eg.3%) But i am wondering if adding bam would duplicate too much of the components of the other three. Would Bam add much to my portfolio is there too much duplication?

Q: Good afternoon - I have several Brookfield positions. My BN and BAM positions have more than doubled. My BEPC and BIPC positions have done well but nowhere close to a double. I do get higher dividends in BEPC and BIPC but BAM pays almost 3% at current prices. I'm thinking of selling BEPC and BIPC and putting the proceeds into BAM. The tax consequences are manageable. Your thoughts, please.

Q: hi group please see attached lists of my \TSFA holdings in what order would you add to them or is there a better stock picks you would recommend instead Maybe 3 suggestions. thanks

ps how much cash are you recommending we hold thru these turbulent times as well as the market being way oversold (gold/metals and Tech seem to me the leaders
