Q: Brookfield Asset Management (BAM) said Monday it plans to commence a normal course issuer bid to purchase up to 31.8 million of its class A limited voting shares, representing about 10% of the public float.

Can you tell me how many shares are outstanding. Can you also tell me how such a reduction in the public float might impact the dividends paid out to shareholders over time (e.g. direct correlation)? Could this be the type of company that might annually try to reduce its float 10% to drive its own stock price re-rating? Lastly, is it common for a new company/spin off such as this one to start buying back its own shares?

Q: Can you please tell me what the difference is between BN and BAM? What one is better/why did they split it out?

Q: Wondering if you can help me figure this out Peter,

Bought 360shares of BAM.A at $54.62. Spin off took place and I ended up with 90 shares of Bam and 360 shares of BN. In making my calculations after everything is settled, it looks like Today I am sitting at roughly $19,678 - original investment was 19,680.

Is this a sell, hold or buy right now??? Its a little confusing for a simpleton such as me.

Thank you for all you do

Q: I assume the dividend for both will be paid in USD. Can you confirm? If so, I will transfer the shares to my UD non registered to avoid conversion costs :) Thanks and Happy New Year!

Q: Merry Christmas everyone and thank you for a wonderful service! I'm looking to purchase six different companies that have preferred shares and would like you to help me pick them. Security of dividend and safety of the companies (staying power) is the top priority here. Therefore if two preferred picks are in the same sector I don't mind as I'm not sure how much diversity matters here.

I currently own TRI and CSU preferred shares and would also like your opinion on them, thanks.
