Investment Q&A

Q: Your top 5 Dividend stocks in order please for CND and US? Long term holds

Thanks you

Q: Following these recent QA regarding BN.

Sep30 “ As per the latest annual financials, BN holds a 25.0% interest in Brookfield Asset Management (BAM), a 54.6% interest in Brookfield Renewable Partners (BEP.UN), a 73.9% interest in Brookfield Infrastructure Partners (BIP), and a 34.5% interest in Brookfield Business Partners (BBU)”

Oct01: “Owning the three noted will provide higher income and somewhat similar exposure. But BN will prove the 'private equity' component of its businesses that the others have less of.”

I own BN since BAM-reorg and it did very well this year. If we look at it’s underlying assets : in the last year BAM/BBU did OK but not as much, but both BEP and BIP did poorly. May be a stupid question, why did BN do so well? Market speaking? “private equity” or other assets heavier than we think? Thanks ++

Q: What companies are held in BN and at what percentage for each stock/company (I know Brookfield partners is no longer listed), ie. BEP, BIP, BAM etc.
I know this question has been asked many times but I could not find the answer.
Thanks!

Q: BAM's share price has popped up quite a bit in the last few weeks. Any reason for this? And is the valuation getting stretched, to the point of trimming one's holdings? Thanks much for your excellent service

Q: Holding the following Financial sector stocks: BAM, BN, BNS, GSY, PRL, SLF, TD, X for a total of 20% in TFSA & RIF combined. Would like to reduce # of holdings to 5 or 6 and Financial % to about 15% . Your comments/suggestions/alternatives on the following setup would be appreciated:
RIF = HMAX, BAM, X
TFSA = BN, GSY (or BN, PRL or BN, PRL, GSY??)
As always, thank you for helping to provide clarity.

Q: As a retired investor relying on dividend income, which of SLF or BMO do you favour for a long-term hold and why?

This investment would be part of and complete my allocation to the financial sector.

Are there other finacial stocks you would recommend ahead of these two?

Thanks for the great service!

Q: My husband is 8 years away from retirement and wants to buy dividend stocks to leave mostly alone (not checking daily like me!) - he'll check in on it now and then. This is the list he's come up with - slightly higher positions in BCE, BPF.UN and slightly lower in AW.UN, CAR.UN and OLY, otherwise fairly evenly split. Do you see this a good list for his purposes, and is there anything you would leave off, or add? Any other alarm bells? Thanks!

Q: Please recommend several Canadian stocks for an elderly investor with a focus on preservation of capital and a return of 5%+. Thank you in advance.

Q: you recently answered a question on august 13 about higher / better / safer quality dividend stocks with yields in the 3-5 % range (vs going after yields over 6 %).

What would you consider to be the top 10 of this 3-5 % yield higher quality dividend stock category?

Q: Hi group ...Can you explain the difference between private equity and private credit. Also how to patriciate in this sector and what is your top 3 picks to start positions?...Thanks for your help

Q: Can you comment on their earnings release? Does this company constantly rely on new $ coming in to generate fees and earnings? If you like this company, what would be an attractive entry point? Thank you

Q: Both BN and BAM are down sharply over the last 5 days - much more than the market. Why do you think this is - presume it’s a nice buying opportunity?

Q: Can I please have your thoughts on KKR. Your overall thoughts on the company and do you see more upside and your take on the recently announced earnings. Thank You.

Q: Hi group in what order would you add Regardless of sector to the above stocks that i presently own + would you wait after the big drop in the markets today or slowly average in

also what your general thoughts (short comment will suffice) on the markets going fwd

Q: I'm confused about the different Brookfield group of companies (I may not have them all listed), namely, which one should be held under which circumstance (income, growth, registered, unregistered etc) and is it beneficial to hold multiple, and if so which and why. Thanks!

Q: Hi,
what would be your top 3 dividend stock right now that's not in financial and utilities?
Also what would be your top 3 in US?
Thank You

Q: In response to Keith's question today you listed:
BAM: 28.0x
BN: 13.5x

And yet you picked BAM stock. Why is that?

Q: Hey folks, hope everyone is enjoying the summer season. I own basically an equal weighting of BN (4%), BAM (4%), BEP(4%) in our various accounts. I'd like to buy a 4% position in BIP. Now comes my question, should I be a lumper or splitter - that is, am I ok looking at these as 4% positions, or would I be better to look at this as 12% position moving to 16% wrt Brookfield products??

Q: Hello,

Can you please compare each of these companies using the valuation metric you believe to be the most appropriate given their business models?

Thank you

Q: I hold BAM as an income stock and also CAR.UN, both in a TFSA. Going forward, I am considering combining them into either BAM or CAR.UN. (And I also hold DIR.UN, a larger position than CAR.UN). I know 5iR likes diversification, however the family has a home and a cottage. If I combine them, what would you suggest as the one to hold, BAM or CAR.UN??? .....Thanks....Tom
