Investment Q&A

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

Q: This is my selection of stocks for steady revenue (and secondarily potential growth) .Since a serious economic crisis is not excluded in my opinion ,I now plan to : 1) only keep Cies at low risk to become out of business and that should maintain dividends, based on their history and financial strength , and to : 2) sell the other stocks to buy ETF instead..

Wich stocks can be "relatively safely" kept at long term for this purpose ?

Q: Can you dumb down the non-cash distribution capreit announced tonight?

For me specifically, I hold it within a TFSA - what can I expect? Don't hold enough shares to even accumulate what would amount to one share, thought I might have understood that completely wrong as I guess no one is actually gaining shares?

Thanks in advance

Q: Hi Guys
What do you think of the management team spending like drunken Sailors on 250,000 square feet of office space in the knew splashy Welltower building in Toronto. Not only that, but when the stock was flying it exercised options to take on another 90,000 square feet.
Sounds like arrogant kids to me.
Thanks Gord

Q: Commodity prices are not in fear of inflation Normally they would plunge as they have in the past.
When rates are high,there's a tendency to refuse to lend interbank ,which is one factor which tends to lead to a recession. But refinancing mortgage s or corporate debt at higher rates is normal. Commodity prices and interest rates are not the issue this time around, so would labour costs and corporate profit margins be more to blame for our inflation problem?.if so, how do you control these issues?

Q: Good morning. When Brookfield announced they would create Brookfield Corp, I doubled my BAM.A holdings to get a larger base in the new entity. Looking at the market activity after the fact would you sell the added BAM.A and buy the new entity for an even larger position or allocate the funds elsewhere?
Sorry just thought of this I've modeled a dividend portfolio for my son to enhance his retirement. I've included XBB for a bond position. My question am I being to cautious? Would you ignore them entirely or do a 70/ 30 conventional split? Any other bond funds you would consider? Merry Christmas

Q: In Investment (non-registered) accounts these 5 stocks are all 'under-water'. I am considering selling for 'tax loss' purposes and would appreciate your thoughts. Is this a useful approach? Are there any that merit re-purchase following 30 days 'waiting period'?

Q: Dear 5i,
I currently hold BIPC and BEPC in my NonReg, TFSA and Pension accounts.
In your opinion, which new split entiity; BN or BAM offers the least overlap with my current two holdings? Which entity gets the fees from BIPC and BEPC? These new entities are very confusing and it would be great if you published a special article about them and how we might use them.
thanks

Q: Will the 10% US withholding tax on dispositions and distributions of PTPs, levied against non-US persons effective January 1, 2023 apply to the old BAM.A or the new BN (or both)? And how is BAMR impacted?

Brookfield website says "section 1446(f) will not apply) to BAM.A but gives no detail, unlike their website on BIP (which details that section 1446(f) does not apply due to being Bermuda based and that the 10% exception rule applies)

I have a significant holding in BAM.A and want to know if I should take action prior to Jan 1, 2023
