Q: Hi, Sorry there are lot of companies listed but in summary this is three part question:

1. I have BAM2%,BN9%,BEP5%. I was thinking of putting new money to KKR or BX or APO. Should i add new money to existing positions or to new positions. Which one and approx. price please.

2. All the listed are in red in various taxable and registered accounts. Which one is good candidate for new money , which one would be sell and hold.

3. ISRG is at 1.5%. Should i go to 5% in one shot or go slowly or just hold on . This is in taxable account.

Thanks

Q: Your thoughts on BAM's recent quarter and what these results suggest for parent company, BN, which I believe reports next week. Thanks.

Q: In response to some questions about Brookfield Corp/BAM sharp drop in Tuesday trading, I could add the following.

As per CNBC, there was a report today, related to perceived impact of AI on software Companies, which could seriously result in their profitability/business and eventually valuations ( already seen in publicly listed most software stocks). Most of the Asset Managers, with large books of private credit, having a fair portion of this credit related to start ups or early stage software companies, fell today, due to the fear of resulting losses and declining private valuation of such borrowers.

Most of the big asset managers were painted with the same brush, today, as it was not immediately known or disclosed, as to, which ones have significant exposures to such clients.

It might be helpful if you are able provide some more information about such exposure to the Brookfield group.

Thank You

Q: Bam is down seriously today. Is it related to today's announced acquisition?

Q: I am looking to invest in a solid high quality company with a good balance between dividend growth and earnings growth. Would you please add your 4 other favourites to my list of 4 and rank them from highest conviction to lowest for total returns over 1) a 1 year hold and 2) a 3-5 year hold.


Thanks for the great service

Q: Hello. I have holdings in: BN, BIP and BEP. I hold BIP and BEP in my RRSP for income and BN in my TFSA and NonReg for growth. Would adding BAM be redundant? If not, which account type would you suggest adding it to?

Q: I am not particularly proud to acknowledge that I own the above- but I do. ENGH and OTEX are in accounts that are structured for income and some growth, while DSG is in an account that is looking for primarily growth. Canadian traded is key for all. Looking for your input on these companies and whether there are better options that I am missing.
No hurry to reply; deduct credits as necessary.
Seconding the comment today regarding your recent report. Well done and I hope that now you have it you continue to update it as companies come and go. It is a great resource.

Q: Any reasons for the recent weakness of BAM & AMZN? Timely to buy Amzn and what is good entry prices in US$ and Can$?Please comment on Amzn especially re its AI and holiday sales.Txs for u usual great services & views

Q: In my TFSA, I have a double position in BN, and full positions in POW, SIS, PPL, CSH.UN, TRI and BAM. I also have half positions in AFN (which I know is not your favourite) and DSG. Would you add to one/some of these (which?) or add something different. After my 2026 contribution, I will have enough cash to about a half position. I prefer to consider Canadian stocks for this account.

Thanks for you help.

Q: Bam has dropped from a 52 wk H $90.24 to current $71.90. Dec 30 was last day for tax loss selling in 2025.When is a good time to buy BAM and a good entry price for long term hold? Txs for u usual great services and Views. All the Best for the New Year

Q: hello 5i:
the Brookfield companies listed above make up close to 9% of our holdings. In your opinion, is that overweighting one entity too much? Any of the companies could be traded, but finding a comparable, or "better" company in that particular sector eg. utilities, financials, etc; is difficult. Your thoughts, please.
thanks

Q: Should I consolidate my two holdings into one??

Q: My financial holdings are TD, BNS, BMO, MFC and SLF. With the recent surge in the banks I am looking to rebalance back to a 50/50 split between banks and insurance companies. If you were to add a third insurance company, which would it be? Or should I add a non-bank/insurance company like BAM or X which is still classified as financial? I am only interested in large cap, dividend-paying stocks.

Q: What would be your top 5 CDN DIV growth names ranked in order that can be set up as a DRIP. Thanks as always.

Q: Why would bam be down from 86 to 72 ???

Q: Hello Team,
Which of these two would you prefer for total return over the next few years and why?
Thank You,
Barry
