Q: Hi

Is my thinking correct?

Based on the above, next year the Government will be being paying more in OAS and in some cases GIS (the Old Age Pension supplement for low income seniors).

In fact some people who are having their OAS clawed back as of July 2022 based on their 2021 income, can apply to have there OAS recalculated for the period July 2022 to June 2023 should they expect lower income in 2022.

Thank you for your time

Thank you

Mike

Q: In your experience, do Canadian bank-owned online brokers such as RBC-DI or iTRADE allow individual investors to buy US T-Bills for registered OR non-registered investments accounts. If yes, how does one find the symbols for 3 month, and 2 years T-bills? If you have the symbols, please tell us, as brokers seem reluctant to.

Q: Hi 5i Team,

I have owned APP's for 1.5 years and am down significantly (70%). I know you have been generally optimistic about its fundamentals but I guess I need some reassurance in these turbulent times.

Do you still find their fundamentals and growth prospects compelling? And if you so could you explain what makes it an attractive HOLD or BUY. Respecting there is no crystal ball do you feel that in 12 months things will look rosier for the stock?

Many thanks to you all for your steady hand in such rough market conditions!

Q: Thanks for your very thorough response to my question in regards to CRNC. What other companies trading in the U.S. with a similar market cap to CRNC, regardless of sector, do you see as great bounce potential once markets turn around?

Q: Hello 5i,
Even with the great financial position it is in with almost 4 billion and little debt, is it time to let ZIM go or hang in for the long haul? All the signs that scream "SELL: are not there, no change in direction, no change in administration, no cut in dividend, in fact even a share buyback scheme is in place. So is it a keeper and just hang in or get out and absorb the losses?

Q: Hi,
I’m confused with the last press release of Brookfield on Friday :

""...The transaction will result in the division of Brookfield into two publicly traded companies – the Corporation (Brookfield Asset Management Inc. will be renamed “Brookfield Corporation”) and the Manager with the holders of Brookfield’s class A ………becoming shareholders of the Manager on completion (the “Arrangement”).

• Brookfield Corporation and the Manager will respectively own 75% and 25% of our asset management business;

• the Class A Shares of the Corporation are expected to trade on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) and the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) under the new ticker symbol “BN”;

• the Manager’s class A limited voting shares (“Manager Class A Shares”) are expected to trade on the NYSE and TSX under the ticker symbol “BAM”;

• each holder of Class A Shares will receive 1 Manager Class A Share for every 4 Class A Shares held;


It looks like the actual BAM.A shares will be « renamed » BN. And "NewBam" shares issued on 1 for 4 basis. Is it right?


Do you know how long it could take to implement the changes after the Nov9 meeting? 5-10 days? I plan to transfer some shares of BAM out of my RRIF this year and I prefer to wait after the spinoff.

Thanks a lot.
