Q: Hi Team,
After selling gsy into yesterday’s bad news…any suggestions on where investors like me should invest to “get our money back”? Tough question …would need a double. I did put some funds into Tri yesterday on the dip. If Tri gets back to old highs at some point that would be a double. Is this a fair bet? Any other suggestions ? Tough question I know and realize can’t tell the future but looking for best bets here for names that might potentially produce a double over the next couple years or so?

On a side note regarding gsy…very disappointed in the company that I was holding a high position in for a long time. It seems to be lendcare was a bad acquisition. And now looking in that short report seems 100% correct …even down to the exact 300million range of charge offs. It’s also obvious in my opinion that it’s likely why Mullen left, and shortly after the new ceo. I don’t believe health reasons as cited was the issue. Same can be said for the ceo. I assume these guys knowing and not reporting to investors until now is a crime or no ? Any chance of getting any money back in likely upcoming lawsuits? I know …doubtful ; This was a tough pill to swallow as I lost 45k on this dip. Was probably holding more than I should have. This was a gut moving event for me and my family.

Thanks

Shane

Q: Hi 5i, and always appreciate getting independent opinion.

My understanding is BN is a large 135B market cap company with about 100B revenue. I also understand they have about 100B line of credit to use on acquisitions/funding of large scale infrastructure - (which they have a history of doing well).

I like to buy cheap and wait. Its always easier to destroy than create/build, and considering Ukraine and Middle East infrastructure devastation not to mention new technology builds related directly and indirectly to AI, I can't help but believe the future is very bright for BN business long term.

I want to take advantage of the current weakness, but Brookfield is already 8% overall. Mostly BN, but some BIPC, and BAM. I'm looking for overall return long term.

My question - if it were you, would you consider allowing BN to represent a higher % of your portfolio because of its size and diversification of business? or would you have a hard stop on size of any single equity regardless of its apparent merits.

Thanks a ton!

Glenn

Q: You once wrote "The insurance industry tends to perform well in bear markets or stagnant markets (risk-off environments), as they have durable business models with predictable earnings. We like having exposure to the industry as a form of 'insurance' for those unpredictable times when the broader markets soften." My question is around why MMC is performing so poorly, and is this a buying opportunity?

Q: I seem to recall a question quite a while ago (years?) about the maximum % of your portfolio should be by fund company. If I remember correctly, your suggestion was to cap each fund company exposure to 15%. Am I correct and do you still feel the same?

My BMO ETFs are just over 16%.
My iShares ETFs are just over 15%.
I have smaller exposures to the fund companies holding HMAX, HHL, NNRG (around 5% each).

Please remind me again what the dangers are of exceeding your suggested threshold? For the larger fund companies, is the threshold higher?

Thanks for your help....much appreciated....Steve

Q: Hi 5i,

Could you please rank these 5 stocks in terms of which you would purchase now for a 3 to 5 year hold, with growth being the main (but not total) focus?
And if you could give a bit of background for your reasoning that would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
