Q: Hello 5i Team,
I have been buying a number of Brookfield companies on dips and now I am 11% invested with Brookfield:

BOX.UN - 1% non-reg
BPY.UN - 3% non-reg
BIP.UN - 5% non-reg
BPF.PR.E - 1% reg

I'm comfortable with these investments since I am looking at the longer term. If you think I should have a limit to my exposure with Brookfield alone and what might be a percentage?

Thanks,
Ronald

Q: For individuals who are self employed, is it better to keep their investments in the company or personally. I have always maxed my RRSP and TFSA, and have an investment account within the business. I know an investment advisor who tells all his self employed clients to not make any RRSP contributions, and invest within the business account instead. What does your math say is the better way to do it?

Q: Hello Peter, I’m very pleased to join you as a new member. Hoping you can respond to a question.
I have a well-diversified RSP, but have a good amount of uninvested cash in my TFSA. I don’t expect to need any money from the TFSA for at least 5 – 7 years, and feel I can take somewhat more risk. I would appreciate your suggestions for a mini-portfolio of about five stocks for longer term gains. I would hope to double the portfolio over the next 5 years between dividends and capital gains. (I already own FSV, HCG, and SJ.) Thank you in advance.

Q: Hi Peter and team. I need to sell my sons 4 stocks by July 10th for him to purchase his first home. His stocks are Stantec, Home Capital, Cinelex and Amaya Gaming. What would you sell first ? should I wait for the momentum to change on AYA before I sell to get the best $ for him. I thought about adding to AYA today but I decided that might be a little risky. Your comments please and thank you.
