Q: Hi 5i,

Would appreciate your thoughts on the recent offer by Advent International buy MAXR.

As a share holder should I consider this a done deal and sell? or is it worth hanging onto the shares in case there is a competing offer from another bidder for MAXR?

If the MAXR does ultimately get bought out, is there a similar company you could recommend to replace it in my portfolio?

Sorry for the multiple questions. Please deduct credits as you see fit.

Thanks in advance,

Greg C.

Q: From Disnat website:

Changes to the U.S. Taxation of Publicly traded partnerships (PTP)
starting January 1st, 2023 (Internal Revenue Code section 1446).
New US regulations taking effect on January 1, 2023, will result in new withholding taxes for sales of publicly traded partnerships by non-US account holders.
Once these rules take effect in 2023, when a non-US national sells an interest in a publicly traded partnership, 10% of the gross proceeds of the sale will be withheld. The withholding taxes will be remitted to the US Treasury, and the non-US national will be responsible for filing a US income tax return and claiming any potential refund of the amount withheld. 

Will BAM be affected by this knew legislation?
Thank you.

Q: My question is about share compensation. My understanding is that, share compensation is recorded at fair market value at the time of issue. I wonder how many companies recorded higher costs for share compensation and lower GAAP profits, given last year's run up in valuations? Year over year the amounts seem out of whack for many companies.

Q: 1. Under current and projected global market conditions, does it make sense to invest in India-focused ETFs?
2. For India, would you lean towards actively managed ETFs, or passive ETFs , or invest in both?

If both, Which ETFs , if any, do you favor for the next couple of years? I am more comfortable with ETFs that are traded in NY or London, are hedged to the US$, and which invest only in mega caps, excluding State-owned enterprises.

Q: I have held these 2 stocks for a long while, but I am getting the impression that it is really hard to make a living in the senior-residential-retirement services. I am thinking on : a) sell one and reinvest in the proceeds in the other , b) sell both and buy instead a dividend payment large cap. (i.e. BNS, ENB) . If a) which one would you recommend to sell , if b) Does this move make sense ? thanks . note : I have plenty of other REITs in my portfolio.
