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: 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: NVDA has now grown to 8% of my portfolio and I am considering paring it back down (again) to 5%. I don't have any crypto exposure, so am looking at investing the freed-up funds in HOOD. This would bring my investment in financials to just over 30%. I know you can't comment on individual allocations, but if this were your portfolio and you already held BN, BAM, X, V and HMAX...would you be concerned about putting too many eggs in the same basket? Or would you feel there is sufficient diversity within the already-held funds to add HOOD? Thank you.

Q: For a long time, BAM and BN were relatively close in share price. Why the $10 difference of late ? Does BAM need to catch up or has BN had too good of a run of late (and needs to come down) ? Or is this the new normal and how it should have been all along ?

Q: Have you warmed up to OWL since your March 2025 comment? OWL currently rates a strong buy in the financial sites I have access to. If your views are unchanged, do you have another private equity-cum-asset manager that you favor? OWL seems to have stronger, favorable buy ratings than BX, or CG. If not OWL, would you prefer Apollo and why.

Would you add to, remove or change anything is this was your account (assuming you're 52 and plan to retire in 8 years).
