Q: Wondering your thots on buying Berkshire B currently in view of how strong the stock price has been and if u would buy what level u wud be comfortable paying.

If a third of the company is Cash n one is paying something around 1.6 Book it is expensive Cash at today’s levels .. understandably one is buying management’s ability to deploy that Cash.


Over the past years what range of multiples has BRK.B traded at vs today’s comparable multiples?

Q: I am considering selling off my shares of BEPC and using proceeds to buy BN. I know BEPC has a larger dividend - will BN's growth be able to overcome the loss in dividends?

Q: Hi team,

Q: Could you please comment on Topicus results. Thank You

Q: Can you please give the breakdown of revenue to show the portion from the search engine. I understand that Google has and is spending a lot on AI but personally I have not felt their search function to change much, if at all. Whereas the new search engines like Perplexity really illustrate how much more can be done to answer queries. Am also wondering if Google is going to stun the world with new search features, or if its bogged down in technical bureaucracy or something in between. It appears not to be nimble in its response to AI market demand. Thank you for your views.

Q: If not already asked: What are your thoughts about DIR.UN’s earnings?

Q: As a shareholder I am curious as to their reasoning for not raising the distribution since inception (about 12 years!). It has been about 6 cents for all that time. I also note that the share price has not been growing also, which more or less defeats any convincing argument that funds are being held back to do accretive acquisitions. The payout ratio seems low for a REIT, at 69%, and I note that it has been steadily decreasing. The share count is also increasing (primarily the DRIP?)
My current view is that I can no longer be a shareholder if there is no dividend increase, or if there is an argument as to why that isn't going to happen.
Do you have any argument that could support my remaining a shareholder in a company where neither the distribution nor the share price is increasing?
Thanks!

Q: I was under impression from your answers on BN and BAM that BN would outperform BAM in share price since BAM pays a dividend. Looking at both stocks the opposite is happening. BAM is outperforming BN and even more so when the div is included. Could you confirm? If my observation is correct could you explain how this is happening? Again, if i am correct and BN was your holding, would you switch to BAM? At this point i am not looking for a div so i would be fine with dripping. Is there a possibility of this trend reversing? I guess i could own both. what would be the split ratio that would reflect the relationship between BN and BAM that you would suggest?

Q: Are you considering this recent drop in GOOG today a buying opportunity for the long term?You mentioned in a previous question that the news today is not new n’or great for the company.. Would you pounce on this opportunity or wait it out?

Thanks again

Thanks

Q: Just to clarify from my last question, would ACWX be a compliment, non correlated ETF to VIU or an alternative?

Q: Hi Everyone at 5i!!
I own both of these stocks and have some money to deploy. Considering the need for infrastructure, would BIP be the better one to add the additional funds to?.

Cheers,
Tamara

Q: I understand GOT is planning to drive an exploration adit at its gold prospect. Do you feel they have done sufficient drilling to justify the adit? I anticipate the adit will escalate the exploration risks / costs. I note no major gold miner has taken an interest in the project as I don’t consider McEwan a major player. Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.
