Investment Q&A

Q: Where do you see support for Brookfield Corp.?It has been incredibly weak …For a normal weighted position would you be a buyer or seller here?

Q: Hi 5i, and always appreciate getting independent opinion.

My understanding is BN is a large 135B market cap company with about 100B revenue. I also understand they have about 100B line of credit to use on acquisitions/funding of large scale infrastructure - (which they have a history of doing well).

I like to buy cheap and wait. Its always easier to destroy than create/build, and considering Ukraine and Middle East infrastructure devastation not to mention new technology builds related directly and indirectly to AI, I can't help but believe the future is very bright for BN business long term.

I want to take advantage of the current weakness, but Brookfield is already 8% overall. Mostly BN, but some BIPC, and BAM. I'm looking for overall return long term.

My question - if it were you, would you consider allowing BN to represent a higher % of your portfolio because of its size and diversification of business? or would you have a hard stop on size of any single equity regardless of its apparent merits.

Thanks a ton!

Glenn

Q: Is BN and/or BAM susceptible to the credit risk like private credit like black rock?

Q: Recently we have seen many blue chip stocks that had done really well pull back.

Companies like RBC, TD, BN, SHOP, MFC, CNR, CP, JPM, GOOG, MSFT, BRK, and others…

What are your favourite five Canadian and US large cap names that have pulled back recently? Would you be a buyer today or would you wait until the market settles a little?

Thanks
Tim

Q: Brookfield Corp has fallen like an anvil…terrible performance.Any new insight?

Q: These two stocks have been dropping like a stone of late.
How do you feel about these two stocks in terms of risk/reward, and are these stocks approaching a support level where one can consider adding to their position?
Thank you and I look forward to your sage advice.

Q: all the brookfield companies have taken it on the chin the last little while. any cause for concern

Q: I know you still like BN even as a top pick for TFSA but since all the other private credit names are suffering this one seems to be lagging. I know you feel it is not the same, but it seems like others see it as similar to Apollo, Blackstone, or KKR and are lumping it with that group. Can you please explain how we need to view this company differently and how to remain patient?

Q: How would you rank from best to average, BN:CA, BMO:CA, BAM:CA, TRI:CA and SLF:CA for my grandchildren's TFSA. The TFSA contents would be given to them in about 10 to15 years.
Thank you,
Frank

Q: Brookfield many different Brookfield stocks.

Which one would have the most upside?

Thank you.

Q: Can you rank the listed stocks for a long term hold please. Thank you

Q: Having wanting to diversify from my non registered account of mainly banks, utilities and pipelines, I have followed these 4 stocks for quite sometime. Bought BN ( up ) a year ago and WSP just recently; both half positions. Now is too early for TRI as it is impossible to determine the winners and losers in the software AI issue besides I already own LMN ( down down ) in my TFSA. Based on management’s handling of previous downturns, I have TFII on the radar. Are there any large Canadian companies with international exposure you would suggest ? Should I just bring BN and WSP up to full position? I am looking at BIPC but would that be too much Brookfield ?
I stay away from oil and commodity companies.
Thanks . Derek

Q: Would you consider Brookfield Corp attractive here at 63$ range?It seems to be rangebound heading nowhere…….

Q: Hello,

In terms of valuation, which is the better choice, and also, is BAM much less risky than BN for a fairly conservative investor? It's been graphically much weaker than BN for some time.

thanks

Q: Would you buy now, just before the results?

Q: What to do with $10864 in TFSA? At 74 years I exist on a public sector DB pension.

Transitioning my TFSA to be more growth focused. 14 holdings currently, major ones being BN, TRI, TFII, TVK, KXS, TOI, EQB, LMN, DSG, PNG, DRX, REAL, S, EGLX. Also have 41 equities in much larger balanced dividend growth non-reg account but Brookfield Group is pushing 15% of total portfolio with overall 65% Canada exposure. Overall below sector targets in consumer cycle, health, RE, Industrial, Utilities as well as International exposure.

Realizing you cannot get personal but I am looking for another viewpoint on how to use the funds in TFSA this year besides adding more Brookfield or software or financials. With available funds could only add 4 units of CSU anyway.

Q: Do you consider all of these companies to be core holdings? Of the ones you consider to be core holdings, please rank them (highest first) and give some explanation for your choices. Much appreciated. ram

Q: Hello 5i Team,

Given the current pull-back in the market, could you please provide your 6 highest conviction Canadian or US stocks (ranked in order) for (i) small-cap, (ii) mid-cap, and (iii) large-cap companies considering a 3+ year hold.

Thanks in advance for your always helpful advice!
