Q: Thank you for my recent question re re-allocation of winners and losers. The above 3 equities represent approx 9% each in my portfolio of 25 in total. If I bring these 3 companies back below 7% each, which companies in either your growth or balanced funds should I add to with the proceeds.

Q: Peter; So it’s ex-div today and it’s down about$1,25- would this be a rough value for BN? On regular ex-div dates for shares they usually decline by the value of the “dividend “. Thanks

Q: Good morning. I watched your interview with Kornel Szejber from Build Wealth Canada. On it you discussed immunization which was most helpful. You also mentioned that you thought of CNR and CP as set it and forget it stocks. With that train of thought in mind which other canadian dividend stocks would you put in this same category? If I was to purchase 10 dividend stocks to take advantage of the dividend tax credit in my non registered acct which would be my main source of income which stocks should I consider.
Thanks
Victoria

Q: These 4 stocks, held in my TFSA, in roughly equal proportions, total approximately 5 % of my registered and cash portfolios. All are down except for EIF. My TFSA is where I put my riskier growth stocks ( EIF slipping in there somehow). Each has their own theme and while I am in no hurry to sell, I am looking for your opinion on them while I conduct my semi annual review. Your comment on their strengths/weaknesses, growth potential, ,management , buy hold sell ,would be appreciated. Derek

Q: Market reaction to earnings can be odd, as you well know. DOO blew the doors off on revenues, earnings and outlook. The bump from the good news didn’t last as long as it took me to go get a coffee. I guess the answer is all the good news was baked in, in the runner-up the past week or so, or it’s just that kind of market. Nothing pleases it.

Q: Could you please do a deeper dive into this particular paragragh from the 9 months results. "
Net income decreased by $84.7 million to $500.3 million for the nine-month period ended October 31, 2022, compared to $585.0 million for the nine-month period ended October 31, 2021. The decrease in net income was primarily due to the unfavourable impact of the foreign exchange rate variation on the U.S. denominated long-term debt, partially offset by a higher operating income and lower net financing costs."

Q: Thinking about buying BAM.A today before the record date for the spin off. Can you explain to me that how BN and BAM can continue to grow after the spin off? Would one be more growth orientated and the other be more dividend focused? Any advice or insight you could provide would be greatly appreciated to inform my decision.

Q: Good afternoon my 5i friends. I had a long career in commercial real estate. I'm looking at the core office vacancies and sublets in the CBDs of many big cities, including Toronto and Montreal. The vacancies will drag on with downward pressure on rents and I'm wondering about the fine gang at Brookfield. Do they have inordinate exposure to office space and are they susceptible to rent compression. I am less concerned about retail and I know Brookfield has plenty but the worst is behind us, surely. So, your thoughts on the Brookfield office holdings, please.

kindest regards
