DOL, BN, CLS, LMN, TOI, DRX, DSG, IFC, TRI, PRL, AFN, GFL.

Q: Hey folks, hope everyone is enjoying the summer season. I own basically an equal weighting of BN (4%), BAM (4%), BEP(4%) in our various accounts. I'd like to buy a 4% position in BIP. Now comes my question, should I be a lumper or splitter - that is, am I ok looking at these as 4% positions, or would I be better to look at this as 12% position moving to 16% wrt Brookfield products??

Q: My wife and I hold a blend of mainly dividend paying blue chip Canadian stocks (examples shown) in a diversified equity/fixed income portfolio. PE ratios on some of our dividend payers seem enticing to add to. As retirees with a reasonably conservative approach, what sectors does 5i feel have the best opportunity for P/E margin expansion over the next several years, assuming no 'abnormal' (whatever that is) market volatility and some moderation of interest rates? Consistent with the margin expansion theme, would 5i suggest we add to our existing dividend payers, or to more growth-oriented names like BN group?

Can you list your 5 best managed US and 5 best managed Canadian publicly traded companies. Also please briefly explain why they make your list.

Q: BAM is currently overvalued per Morningstar (price of $51 vs fair value of 44 ish).
BN is currently undervalued per Morningstar (price of $56 vs fair value of 60+ if I remember correctly)
Would you agree with this valuation?
I am currently owning both BN and BAM. The BAM holding was spun off from the BN holding. I just want to simplify into 1 holding. Would it make sense to sell BAM and add to BN here? My priority is growth as the horizon is 10 + years. Thank you very much.

Q: Hi, Further to my comment on BBU/CDK, the media still mention BBU as the owner of CDK. But with the BAM split in 2022, hard to know who owns what.
BN stock has not really moved in the last 5 days compared to BBUC. Might explain why Gordon was not happy on Tuesday.
