Investment Q&A

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

Q: I bought BX pre-pandemic and held on , thinking that its significant investments in real estate would bottom and share price would again climb. That didn’t happen. I have been trimming my holding in BX but still hold a half-position. I stopped reducing, now again thinking that perhaps long-duration assets owned by BX would become more valuable. Do you think this is true? Or, do you think an investor is much better off to deploy cash into KKR or some other private equity? (US companies only).

Kindly give your insightful reasons, skipping the obvious please.
Thank you! :ao:

Q: I am considering starting a position in First National Financial Corp., Canada. It is dealing with mortgage financing with a healthy yield around 6%. Information that I have found indicates 70% ownership by principal owners so that liquidity may not be great. Is this company worth adding to an income focused portfolio? My other financials are Canadian banks, BN, BAM, AD,UN

Q: Have been considering a purchase of Intact Financial for exposure to insurance sector. But already own BRK.B , which I tend to think of in terms of its portfolio of holdings , but has at its core their insurance business .
Different animals , I guess , but how would you think about this ?
All other considerations aside , would you add to BRK.B or initiate a position in IFC ?

Q: Hi, Do you consider National Bank to be a good Canadian Bank to own, based on their flawless execution for a long period of time ? If so, after the recent sell off, what is a more prudent approach - To buy the * stock' now OR "Subscription receipts" to be listed, next week, which are likely to trade at a discount (what discount is reasonable ? ). considering cost to hold for 18 months period and a small probability of deal not going through ?

Would appreciate to elaborate pros and cons, Please !!
