Q: My RRSP has a roughly 50/40/10 split between core compounders, defensive holdings, and income holdings. I will not need any of the money for at least five years. What do you think of the split? Could I please get your top stock and ETF recommendations for an RRSP today? Also, what do you think of FIE, ZRE, and covered call ETFs in an RRSP? Thanks.

Q: Good morning and thank you for your amazing insights these days .

Question regarding CNQ and BN. Two completely different sectors, but given the appreciation in CNQ in recent weeks, and the corresponding pressure in BN, I have been slowly taking some CNQ off and moving more into BN. Both are core holdings for me, but your conviction with BN is impressive and I just think it is foolish to not take small gains off the table and move more to BN on the view that this too shall pass - for both companies.

Crazy or a fair approach so long as measured?

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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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
