Investment Q&A

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

Q: I'm looking for guidance and advice on BAM.
Being a long time (15yr+) holder of the security, I love the company and the management. I truly believe they are fantastic investors. BAM represents a number 3 position in my portfolio.

I fear that post covid, and after many, many companies got their first real taste of WFH on a large scale, the commercial real estate market is in trouble.

Looking to feel comfortable not selling into this fear, as I really do value the company in high regard. I just fear we have seen the peak already, at least for an extended period.

Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks,
J.

Q: Teal Linde was on Market Call yesterday and he said that the canadian utilities like Algonquin have used their clean balance sheets to leverage and buy up US utilities over the past decade (since the 2008 crisis). He said that is mostly played out now and growth will be much more challenging. I suspect this may have played a part in aqn's weakness the past two days. More important: is there much growth left in AQN's future?? I have bought a variety of income stocks that have good growth prospects (for both cash flow and dividends), and benefitted greatly. One of them has been
AQN...but is that run over?

Q: Hello 5i, I’ve invested a portion of my grandmother’s TFSA in CDZ looking for a decent diversified relatively low risk dividend (to be reinvested) payer, which I’ve seen recommended on here a few times. I was on morning star and I came across those two funds which seems to have outperformed despite their similarities and higher MER. Could you please explain the fundamental differences between the three and rank them from best to worst for a 5 year horizon according to your opinion? I wasn’t able to access the complete funds’ holding details. Thank you!!

Q: Peter and staff;
Just adding my compliments to Mikes comment. It is so nice to be able to see each separate account and holdings. Is 5i big enough to monetize yet- I’m sure you could sell enough IPO
shares just from the happy members.

Q: My ques. is about Co. Equity Financings and in particular related to small cap stocks raising additional capital for expansion or operating costs. Often these financings include both a share and a warrant. Typically there is a 4 month hold period before trading is allowed. There may also be Broker shares and warrants issued as well. My question is whether all of these shares and warrants issued under the financing (including the Broker's) are subject to the same 4 month hold period? Can some parts of the same financing be exempt from the 4 month hold, while other parts are not and why? Lastly, what may be the exceptions to the 4 month hold requirement for any Co. doing additional financing? Thank you.
