Q: Hello,

TD believes the following on BN

After subtracting the market value of BN's stakes in BAM/BEP/BIP, the stock is ascribing negative value to the stake in BBU (~$1.75/share), real-estate (~$20.00/share), insurance (~$2.50/share), and carried interest (~$3.60/share). BN's ~$4bln of annual FCF provides considerable firepower to address the discount, although share buybacks must be weighed against the prospect of growing the franchise. We believe that BN's conviction in the intrinsic value of its stock price is evidenced by ~$750mm of TTM share repurchases and ~ $100mm of share purchases in the open market by the senior executive team.

Couple questions
1. This is the first time I have seen the value of BN being just reflected as just BIP,BEP, and BAM. Would you agree with this.

2. If you agree, isn’t it extremely compelling to get BBU, Reinsurance, oaktree, and property for free?

3. Would you agree with the $61 USD target or 90% upside?

Thank you!

Q: Hi, these are my two stocks that are down the most . I think I will keep GSY through this downturn as I have more confidence in it during rough times? Could you talk about TVE and reasons why I should keep it , sell to half position or just sell for tax loss. We seem to be swimming against the current with government and environmentalists with oil and gas companies. Is it worth keeping at least into the new year when these companies seem to do better?
Thanks

Q: Hello,

TD believes that BN is only pricing in BIP, BEP and BAM and ascribing no value to BBU, oaktree, insurance and the real estate.

Do you agree? If so, this must be a deal of a century?

Q: Hi Peter,

As a subscriber of the service since 2017 (despite being urged to join at least 2 to 3 years earlier) I am very grateful for the information and education that 5i has provided to me. I have used the balanced portfolio for my road map and couldn't be happier. I was wondering if you would't mind humoring me, and sharing what you view to be the three best selections you have made in that portfolio, the three worst, and the three you wish you had made, dating back to the inception in 2013. A small explantion why would be appreciated. This being Friday, that should give you the weekend to reminisce. Take care and have a great weekend to all of the staff at 5i.

Q: Trying to decide between Topicus and Lumine for a long-term growth portfolio here.
I am digging into both, and finding that Lumine gets around a third of revenue from an acquisition they made called Wideorbit. Wideorbit gets almost all of its revenue from ad selling into radio stations, local TV and National TV networks.
I guess I am worried about how this business model can work long term (my teenagers never watch traditional TV or listen to radio, and cord cutting is quite prevalent apparently). Does this high percentage of revenue worry you in terms of Lumine going forward? Thanks

Q: What are your views on Peller's most recent earnings? To me, they look horrible, and I'm wondering if I should just salvage my tax loss and move on. That said, the price is probably at the lowest of the low. How much patience should one extend to the turnaround possibilities?
