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

Q: This fund is part of an employer-sponsored account. It has been steadily decreasing since early October given (I assume) the bond market’s attempts to price in new uncertainties over the past few weeks. I thought this bond component would reduce volatility but perhaps not (?). I have 5-7 years to go until the money is needed. If it’s going to lose value or underperform I would prefer to sell it now and put my faith elsewhere. It is 10% of my total portfolio. My question: What would YOU do in this situation?

Q: Hi 5i, "...Brookfield Corp. scrutinized for stake in Peru toll road project plagued by allegations of ‘corrupt practices’..."

https://www.thestar.com/business/brookfield-corp-scrutinized-for-stake-in-peru-toll-road-project-plagued-by-allegations-of-corrupt/article_9629182a-a364-11ef-8826-2b980726b1dd.html


There are many proofs that indicates Brookfield knew about Odebrecht corruption in Peru and went ahead an bought at reduced price 57% of "Rutas de LIma" (HighwayToll systems) , Can this harm Brookfield credibility, and integrity and the stock. Sell/Hold?
thanks

Q: Regarding potential Trump tarrifs, do they apply to services also or only goods?

Do you see any of the companies (DRX, CLS, BN, PRL, Hps.a, ENB, Shop,.... ) affected by this?

I have gains on most of them. Would you sell right away and buy later,.depending on market outcomes?

Would you have a different strategy for stocks that I plan to sell in 1 year vs 5+ years?

Q: Can I have your general thoughts on ATKR? Also, more specifically can you comment on 2 things 1) debt and2) timing. I have been watching it and can imagine some tax loss selling impact the share price. However the turn yesterday was interesting and I am tempted to take a half position now in case interest outpaces any tax loss selling and maybe add to it in late December or early January. Does this seem like a reasonable course of action? Please and Thank-you.

Q: CCO market cap is$ 36 Billion and NXE market Cap is $7 Billion

CCO produces 92 million pounds of Uranium and NXE will produce 30 million pound of uranium. 1/3 of what CCO produces

Market value of NXE should be 1/3 of CCO or $12 Billion divided by number of shares outstanding of 565 million gives me a price for NXE of $ 21.00, Share at $ 12.00

What do you think of this calculation. Am I on to something

I own NXE

Q: I owned 600 shares of AW.UN and was under the impression that the shares would be exchanged 1 for 1 for AW. That is not what appears to have happened. My account indicates I now own 583 shares of AW. iTrade has also changed the apparent purchase price which would suggest that I sold the AW.UN shares and bought the AW shares. Have I misunderstood how this transaction was suppose to take place? Do I have grounds to insist the missing 17 shares be returned?

Q: My utilities holdings include BIP.UN (3.9% of total equity), H (2.1%) and FTS (1.9%). Considering the momentum of CPX and its higher dividend than either H or FTS, what would your thoughts be about the idea of selling both H and FTS to buy CPX? Seems to present more growth potential and higher dividend. My thanks.

Q: I'm considering selling part of my BCE holding for the loss. Can I claim the tax loss benefit? I may or may not repurchase after 30 days.
Apologies if this has been asked before - just making sure as the loss would be my only reason for selling.
Thanks for your help.
