Thank you!

Q: I hold a fairly large holding in 4 Brookfield entities and am looking at selling Bam to add more to my Bip.un in order to adjust my holdings. Would you favor this move for a 3 to 5 year hold and what might your reasoning be for and against? Thanx.

Q: Energy is obviously trading at a premium, given the current conflict, and with this in mind I was thinking of taking advantage of the bump and trimming my CNQ and SU positions. While I don't have any concerns about the companies, it would seem to make sense to monetize some of those gains. That being said, the current conflict has obviously impacted other sectors and companies negatively. What are some opportunistic buys (in your opinion) of companies that are currently depressed by the current conflict, but whose balance sheets and business models are sound, and who will probably do fine over the next 5 years.

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: 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
