Investment Q&A

Q: Thank you for your answer re BX vs peers. I am planning on adding to an existing position in BX.
My question is: Stock price is back to early 2021 levels but on valuation metrics, how cheap is it actually? Additionally, at what valuation and at what approx share price would you feel is compelling enough to add to

Q: Good Morning,

As the market gets beaten down yields on some very good companies are becoming difficult to ignore.

With a recession in sight yields could possibly get even better.

I am retired and an income investor sitting on substantial cash.

What would be your preferred course of action at this time?

What companies would be most attractive to you?

Thanks

Q: I am in my 80's and am changing my investment philosophy.
Can you suggest 6-8 stocks US or Can that would be in a solid l-o-n-g term growth and income portfolio. I would particularly like stocks that have recently been a little soft.
Thanks

Q: Before deploying more dollars to BX, what are other headwinds (apart from the usual suspects of inflation, recession etc) that the market is seeing that is driving down the share price. How would you rate BX vs peers such as BLK or BAM for long term (divd, capital) appreciation

Q: Good Morning,

In a response to Gabriel on September 21 you suggested BX as a good US income opportunity.

Could you please expand upon BX and the reasoning for your suggestion.

I am interested but is it safe, secure and have growth potential.

Thanks very much.

What would you advise ?.Can you please give me a few choices

Q: Hello Peter,
Can you please comment on good natured results? Is it fair to say Blackstone is more for income oriented investors given its dividend and Blackrock is more for growth oriented investors. Also, would be better to diversify into both instead of picking one as i already own fair amount of BAM? Is Manulife worth a hold for long term given its decent dividend? thanks very much

Q: Which stock of the above will have the most potential growth in the next two years and why.
Thanks

Q: As a follow-up to Harry's question of June 2/22, can I ask why you rank the three companies as BAM, BX, BLK in that order? I own BLK and wonder what makes it the least attractive of the three. Thank you,

Q: Looking at one of these conglomerates in my US Spousal Rsp. All seem similar in their business mix however, BX offers higher dividend and has the largest market cap. BLK seems to offer an outsized dividend and trades accordingly.
Question, for a long term Rsp hold, which of the three is most compelling

Q: I am doing some investing planning.
Objectives are to reduce risks and to capture more dividend income.

Part of this process entails looking for companies that are ( almost) too big to fail - recognizing that nothing is totally safe. bam.a, bro.b, bx

As a category or label would you:
1. Agree that the companies above are “ conglomerates “? ( or something else?)
2. Are they “ almost “ too big to fail?
3. Are there others I missed? .. especially something you like better?

Thanks as a for your helpfulness.

Q: since BAM.A IS SPINNING OFF A NEW MGT COMPANY do you think BX. might do the same thing? also what is your current view of BX. apparently it currently has a PEG of one thanks Richard

Q: Good morning,

I currently hold shares of BAM:US and BX:US in my US$ Non Registered account and would appreciate your thoughts on the following:

Q1. Is there any advantage or tax efficiency in holding BAM using BAM:CA in my Cdn$ Non Registered account?

Q2. What is your preference between BX:US and BAM shares and

Q3. What are your thoughts on holding BAM and BX in equal amounts.

Thank you and I'll await your thoughts on these three questions.

Q: Can I get the valuation on the four companies and your thoughts please

thank you

Q: Looking to add a financial to my TSFA. How would you rank BX, BLK, and NDAQ at this point?

Q: If I only had room for one of these in my portfolio, which is your favorite?

Q: Curious to hear your thoughts about CET:NYSE, Central Securities, as a potential 5- to 10-year hold for diversification, some income and capital appreciation. Also, would it make sense to hold this in addition to BRK.B, BX, and a few ETFs (VGRO, VTV, VWO)? Thank you!

Q: Hi
Is there an American stock or 2 that you would consider the same as Bam
I really like Bam but it is starting to take a higher % of my total portfolio.
Thanks Terry

Q: Considering taking a position in one of these two companies would appreciate your opinion on both and why you would choose one over the other.
Thanks John

Q: With a bit of extra cash, where would you put it today, and why? Blackstone, Morgan Stanley, or Canadian banks?

Thank you
