Q: Regarding LMN’s latest quarter, how do metrics compare with the early days of CSU and TOI around free cash flow and organic growth since these were the weak spots. Did CSU or TOI experience these same drops or weaknesses and how did they turn it around?
Thanks!

Q: As a follow up to my previous question on OTEX, I would also ask that you comment on analysts downgrades related to OTEX moving towards organic growth and away from growth by acquisition. Isn’t this simply a function of its low stock price relative to earnings and cash flow? If a growth-by acquisition company like CSU bought OTEX then it would be immediately accretive to earnings because CSU trading at a high PE multiple. The same analysts would applaud CSU for its ability to grow by acquisition and call the stock a buy. I am not saying that CSU is a bad company, far from it, but I am wondering if analysts would better serve investors by focusing more on the organic growth of a company and not on what it might acquire in the future.

Q: Hello! I invested some of my young son's money into bkcl, thinking that Canadian banks are reliable and it will grow over time. The fees for the ETF are high, but it pays about 12% dividend monthly. It actually pays more, but I have deductions as I don't live in Canada. What is your opinion about this kind of etf, ie based on Canadian banks, high management fee but very high regular dividend? Thank you!

BN 5.00 %
BAM 2.36 %
BIPC 2.22 %
BIP.UN 1.35 %

For a total of 12.18 % amongst the Brookfield group of companies

CSU 5.49 %
TOI 1.81 %
LMN 1.40 %
For 8.7 % in CSU and associated companies

MLF 4.23 %

Collectively these holdings represent about 25.11 % of my holdings at the end of the 3Q.

I understand that your services are not to give personal advice but would value and appreciate your opinion on the weighing of these investments, specifically in the Brookfield group. The portfolio has done reasonably well (thanks fot 5i) but don't want to get complacent.

Much appreciated.
