Q: MFC has just recently surpassed its previous peak in 2007 around $44. This was a long time coming, but it is struggling to stay above this value. Normally I feel that it is a good sign when a company that breaks through a previous high. Can I have your thoughts on MFC at this time, and why it may be a different company than it was 15 years ago.

Q: This Friday, BAM shareholders (but no other Brookfield entity, correct?) will vote on becoming US-domiciled, and, as-such, eligible for inclusion in US indices.

Assuming approval, (a) should this change catalyze an expansion of its P/E multiple (or is that already priced-in), and (b) should this change catalyze, indirectly, a proportional expansion for BN?

Q: I hold both of these in my TFSA. BN for its growth potential - BAM for both dividend appreciation and some, albeit modest growth. I am uncertain about my options in 2025 if the plans of converting BAM to a U.S. domiciled corp. go through. Should I be transferring BAM to my taxable portfolio? Selling BAM and adding to the BN? or ? ? This somewhat weird query is not so much a question as a request for reasoned tho'ts. on options and their possible implications. Thanks for your help over the past five+ years -- Happiness to all in 2025, Bill

Q: I read this morning in the G&M there’s a push by consumer advocates for government legislation to be broadened to include restricting highly profitable credit insurance charges by alternative lenders. To what extent is even the threat of this a headwind for Goeasy and Propel? As as second question, should this restriction find its way into legislation, to what extent would this impact Goeasy and Propel?

Q: Hello 5i
I remember you offering articles on understanding bitcoin. At the time I wasn't interested but am now. But, although I have searched, I cannot find them on the site. I wonder if you could re direct me on that. I think you have also mentionned Biance. Are there some articles on that, as well?
thanks for your help and have a good holiday

Q: I know nothing about bitcoin but I understand that MSTR stock holds a lot of bitcoin. Why is the stock performance of MSTR so much better than IBIT bitcoin ETF. Shouldn't they be reasonably close and correlated? What is MSTR's fundamental business and how do they make money?
