Investment Q&A

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

Q: I have a question about Brookfield Asset Management (on the TSX).

There was an earlier question from another person that suggested keeping BAM.A in Registered Accounts as to avoid some very complicated tax filings on its dividend. Can you shed some light on this: Is the dividend an Eligible Dividend under Canadian Tax rules or is it sometimes a combination of various return of capital or ineligible dividends? Also does it pay the dividends in US dollars? It's not very clear from their website. Thanks

Q: With the fall of DR, particularly for income investors, the question is what to do. Michael posed this earlier. What would you advise? You had responded that there is better places to put capital, but such a decline has eroded that capital and reinvesting the reduced amount does not produce much.
How would you advise an investor at this point? Sell, and crystalize the loss and reinvest what little remains? Hold on and wait for a bounce? Settle in for a long wait?
Ideally, investors would have sold before now. I do not see any such advice within your answers, DR was always described as a solid hold and waiting out several quarters was recently recommended.

Q: So, results released and not pretty. I took a small position in this April 2018 (1.75% of Non-Reg Acc) and have been watching slow decline ever since. With today's bad news stock is down to new 52-week low. Question is, should I hold on, bail, or "double-down"? The Board seems to taking corrective action; the dividend has been cut and is now quarterly. I can afford to wait in the area of 5 years. But, I'm not getting as paid as much to wait today as I was yesterday. Thoughts?
Thank you, as always. Michael
