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

Q: I am retired and currently own both companies for the long term. Bip at 3% and Bam at 5%. I want to raise my exposure to the Brookfield companies. Looking for a stable dividend and some growth. I also like BPY. Would you rather raise BIP, to 5% add to Bam or add a chunk of BPY. say at 3% for a first piece of it. Is there an overlap problem owning various Brookfield companies ?

Q: Good day,
I have positions in both of these Canadian banks. I do have a long term investment timeframe ahead of me. I am sitting on cash in my portfolio. Do you recommend continue buying at these levels? Or should I wait until the market uncertainty clears, or buy into another sector?
thank you.

Q: I know that you like Chartwell, but I am not certain why your strong endorsement.. Looking at the share price performance the shares currently sell at the same price as 3 years ago; so other than the dividend there has been no growth over the past 3 years. Not looking for a lot but some small token growth would be nice to instill some confidence in the company's management team. I own the shares, have done so for some time, but am now thinking that there are better income opportunities out there. Can you provide me with some rationale for not parting with my shares in Chartwell?

Q: Hello,
I just read your report on this company and have a few questions:
- Revenue from 2014 to 2016 went down substantially (from $500M to $160M), should we expect the same correlation to oil price going forward in case of an oil downturn or was there more to it at that time ?
- Are their customers mostly low cost producers ?
- Would you consider EDR as a long term competitive advantage ?
- You mentioned long term contracts in your report. Would you know if they are for a considerable portion of their revenue and how long and guaranteed are they ?
- Is the insider ownership related to the founders? Are they managing the business?
- Any idea why the stock did not recover with the oil price ?
I have had bad experience with oil servicing cmies in the past. I am tempted to take a position but worry about the downside if oil price is going lower. I will do more research but I always appreciate your comments ! Would a 4% position be too high ? Thank you
