Q: Hi 5-i:
Not a question,but rather a comment. I notice today that some members have written in about the results of what they have received from offering their IPL shares to Brookfield. I had 40,618 IPL shares times .250 = 10,154 exchangeable units, however, RBC direct investing showed in the activity section of my account 40,618 times .24974626 = 10,144 brookfield units. I am short 10 units times an approximate value of $ 71.00 = $ 710.00. Brookfield is using the .24974626 factor instead of the .250 that they offered. I am waiting on a resolution to the matter, but encourage others to check their account, and with their broker, and if so to express their discontent to Brookfield. They will save millions by using the incorrect multiplier. I experienced a similar problem when they spun out the BEPC shares. The announcement stated that all allocations would be rounded up, but when it didn't happen, I checked with my broker and they said that they were not allocated enough shares to do that. I recall that 5-i had some questions concerning that issue.
Thanks,
Ben.

Q: i own 5000 magt shares and they have been a rocket ship on no news whatsoever.i have been slowly selling, now own 3000.
the fact is there are only a million shares available for trading out of 10 million outstanding.
my thesis is the main reason it has risen so much is very few shares available.
its in a hot space but it is not yet crowdstrike or zscaler -far from it.
and a fund raise has to be coming, same for nuvei.
can you comment.

Q: Good afternoon, I have a 33% equal split of KXS,CJT and BAM, within a TFSA. I had a good run twice with KXS over the past couple of years, and suspect it may be topping out shortly. Would you consider a switch to TOI to be a sound move. This is a growth portfolio.
Thanks for your always sound advice, Steve.
