Q: Hello - just wondering if you can shine a light on what the Cdn banks do with excess capital? I'm aware our banks are more regulated and conservative than their US counterparts, but given the asset/liability mismatch of SVB holding long treasuries with deposit money - I'm wondering if what Cdn Banks do with their deposits is regulated and what the big 6 are doing with that capital in gerneral. Thanks!

Q: Hello 5i Could you comment on your opinion as the the takeover of Yamana. The take over is expected to take place by the end of March /23. There are 2 options 1 is to sell into the market or 2 take the cash and shares in the 2 takeover companies. The price of gold seems to be on the rise. Therefore if a person chose the shares they may rise in value from the takeover date.

Q: Hi team,
I can’t get over why BN is selling off so much. I have listened to their conference calls, scrolled through their investor presentations and letters to investors. The quality hard assets they are owning seem rock solid with steady predictable cash flow. They seem to own the quality hard assets that keep the world going . I like that they are also very in tune as to where the new money is being allocated on a global scale (such as new global investments in green energy ). They really seem like top quality operators and remind me of Berkshire. I don’t see where they are tied to risk with this latest bank crisis that would tie them up to the selloff . They advertise 175 billion of available investment capital. Yet their market cap only shows 61 billion according to my brokerage. It amazes me like a risk asset like bitcoin is being bought up today even thought it’s mostly the crypto banks that are having issues and are most tied to this failure of Svb and such . You would think stocks like Bn and Berkshire should be flocked to as a safe haven but it don’t seem that way. Anyways ; rant over. What am I missing something ? In my eyes for a long term investor this seems like a great time to buy BN shares being almost cut in half from its high? Do you agree?

Q: Generic question: according to one money manager, a number of stocks are now being priced at “zero” …. clearly not zero , but well below traditional metrics for evaluating stocks.( FRC the most obvious example)

AND also arguing that this has not happened since 2008.

As always I am interested in the 5i perspective, please and thank you.

And can you think of stocks that fall into that category?

Q: As you know, both of these companies are currently undergoing "strategic reviews" which presumably are related to potential buyouts from companies expressing interest. I agree with your assessment that successful buyouts would entail prices at least $2 per share above existing price levels. I am surprised that buyers are not loading up at these prices given the significant possibility of such a price surge withing a 2-3 month timeframe. What am I missing?
