Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Q (Private): They just released their updated plan (until 2029); what are your thoughts on what they have proposed in terms of revenue / margin growth along with the strategy.

This stock has been painful to own over the last couple of years so not sure if this is a needle mover or more consistent w/ their past performance.

Didn't seem like a big catalyst.....

Q: this email is in response to a question asked by Christopher on Feb 27, 25
please publish on 5iR
the Brookfield group of companies make up over 10% of the market value of the Toronto Exchange

to be up front, I hold Brookfield Asset Management (BAM), Brookfield Corporation that is the holding company that owns 70% of BAM, and also Brookfield Infrastructure

BAM, a dividend income stocks, is an asset play, meaning it takes in money from private investors and pension plans and other entities and then invests it on behalf of these groups of entities

nowadays, Exchange Traded Funds (ETF), either active or passive, are overtaking Mutual Funds, especially in the US

so as to attract attention of US ETFs, BAM is going to be domiciled in the US.....but the management will remain in TO....and this change is to encourage Americans and others to invest in BAM, increasing the profile by being listed on US stock exchange as well as the Toronto Stock Exchange

Mark Carney is the Chair of BAM and oversees the Board of Directors....the executives of BAM recommended this change of domicile to the US....it was then submitted to the Board of Directors and was approved, chaired by Mark Carney

Pierre Poilievre, leader of the conservatives, likes to say it was Mark Carney that approved this change.....BUT THAT is FALSE as it was the elected Board of Directors of BAM that approved the change of domicile to the US

me, email this to CLARIFY the TRUE FACTS....Tom

Q: Recent market disruptions have presumably changed the potential returns for many stocks that have taken a significant short term hit. Given current valuations, can you shortlist a few Canadian companies that provide a significant opportunity for rebound?

Q: Hi,

1) Is there an advantage to holding PHYS:CA vs. PHYS:US? How do they stack up with currency fluctuations?

2) Is there any risk with PHYS:US trading on a US exchange if the US goes crazy about Canadians investing in the US? Would it be better to hold PHYS:CA?

Thanks for the help. Michael
