Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Boralex BLX Enters into Definitive Agreement to be Acquired by Brookfield, alongside La Caisse for $9 billion

They never say which Brookfield entity will be the owner. Can you please tell me which it is...BIP, BEP, BN, or BAM ?

Thanks........ Paul K

Q: I am considering selling some BAM to realize a loss and adding it to BN. Any info about CRA not accepting the loss due to the relationship between the 2? Also, any thought on which has the better prospects for total return in the next 2 -3 years; dividends are not important, just total return. Thank you for your excellent service.

Q: I find it a little odd that these shares are down {(some nearly 30%). It is as if they forgot how to make money. Many voices lining up against them. A couple of independent analysts I use have them top picks. Is it time to start building positions?

Q: I am deficient in utilities. I would like to purchase one Canadian company in the sector. Could you rank these 5 companies (you can add to the list if I missed a good company) with a brief explanation for your choice. I am looking at total return (gains + dividends).

Q: Could you comment on the recent weakness in these units/stock and whether or not any are nearing what you would consider good entry points?

Thanks

Q: Not too long ago I asked the question below. Given recent turmoil affecting the markets I’d like to ask it again, however would like you to consider current global risk in your response. Thank you.


Q: I would like your top 3 selections to invest in (and why) under the following scenario.

In your view moderate risk Canadian stocks, with a clear pathway (sjt externalities) to forecast stock price gains of >15% annually, yet having an annual dividend of 3% or greater. Exclude Oil stocks and major Bank stocks.

I know...it is asking a lot and if we could do this reliably we'd already be retired and on a beach somewhere! Thanks for all you do...

Q: 2nd question of the day. I have these laggards in US account. No holding of MU. Would you sell these 3 to buy MU? Also, BAM down, good time to add? I have them at almost 3%. With bringing up to 5?

Cheers,

James

Q: I hold smaller sized Positions of both of these companies and have had the intention to average into larger Positions as pricing opportunities arise.

Both have pulled back about a third from their highs ( i assume the Private Credit issue is the fear). Does that in fact represent the majority reason for the current pullback and if its the case is the fear as warranted as the relevant price pullback suggests?

Some of the opinions i hear suggest the Private Credit fears are greatly exaggerated .. whats yr take on this issue and if so might companies like BN and BAM be less exposed than the market suggests and might others like Apollo KKR and Blackstone be compelling value at current levels?

Q: I have held BN for a while, and was up nicely and now back down to a very minimal gain. This has got me looking at BAM - also down, but at least a nice dividend to soften the blow. Also, BAM is near its 12-month low (of course, might be a reason for this). Between BN and BAM, which do you think has the greater chance for gains over the next few years? If they are similar, does it make sense to move to BAM and at least receive a dividend?
Thank-you

Q: I have held Welltower in my RRSP for several years, and it has appreciated very well. However, I am thinking I will sell it and use the proceeds to enter BAM (higher dividend and an opportune time to buy).
What is your current opinion of WELL?
Would you see this switch to BAM as favourable?

Q: Recently we have seen many blue chip stocks that had done really well pull back.

Companies like RBC, TD, BN, SHOP, MFC, CNR, CP, JPM, GOOG, MSFT, BRK, and others…

What are your favourite five Canadian and US large cap names that have pulled back recently? Would you be a buyer today or would you wait until the market settles a little?

Thanks
Tim

Q: Hello 5i,

We are nearing our max contribution to our TFSA's by transferring excess RRSP funds. We have never used a non-registered account. Can you suggest 5-10 stocks that should be in a non-reg account and why they are best in a non-reg over a TFSA Would you add GLXY or ETHQ to a non-reg due to volatility?

Thank you

D&J
