Investment Q&A

Q: With 2 year investment window, please rank the following : NVEI, ATZ, SHOP, BN, DSG,SLF,TOI,GSY, Googl

Would you maintain the same ranking for a 5 years window

Thanks

Q: Can you clarify the business models of the above for me. I am worried about the prospect of commercial real estate defaults affecting the share prices of the above. I own both.
As I understand it, BN actually owns commercial real estate that could potentially default, whereas BAM doesn’t. Can you confirm this? In the case of BAM, they simply take institutional investor money and invest it for them, in many different asset classes, of which commercial real estate is perhaps 5-15% roughly? And by investing institutional money in this class, they earn fees. So defaults in commercial real estate would probably only somewhat indirectly affect BAM because they might still get institutional investors wanting to allocate money to the class even if prices were low, and they therefore would still earn fees on this? Perhaps BAM would (eventually) earn less ‘carry’ on the commercial real estate investments, down the road in the case of some kind of commercial real estate decline? Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i,

Currently I have full positions in BN and BAM. With a goal of increasing income would you add a new position in BIPC or BEPC?

Thank you!

Q: If one has exposure to renewables through a large position in Brookfield Corporation (owner of 25% of BEP) and Fortis, do you think it makes sense to hold onto a small position in Northland Power? (which has showed promise over the years but has unperformed the market significantly the past 18 months)

Q: There has been some action lately in some of your usual top picks like GSY, BN, NVEI, etc. I'm planning to deploy some cash soon when I see a decent red day. With all the recent changes, what are your top 3 highest conviction names in order, now that you would deploy money to? Thx

Q: Hi 5i team! Brookfield defaulted again yesterday on a dozen office buildings in Washington DC. In February it was on 2 buildings in Los Angeles. Should we be concerned or is this not material? Thanks

Q: What percentage of Brookfield and Blackstone are in office real estate ? Retail real estate?

Q: Now we know we are near the end of J Powell's hikes in Interest Rates as Inflation is dropping should I start building my equity Holdings?

If so can you give me three names in Canada & USA Thanks a lot RAK

Q: You recently mentioned that BN owns 75% of BAM. Do you have the numbers for BSO, BIP, BEP, BBU.

Greatly appreciate.

Q: What are your 5 favourite Canadian Stocks that have been beaten up over the last year that could see a significant bounce back in the next 2 to 3 years. Can you also indicate good entry points.

Thank you
Tim

Q: If you received a relatively large sum of money, $50,000.00, from the sale of Shaw shares, where would you be inclined to invest it?

Thank you.

Q: The top spots on my watchlist contains the following names (Adyen doesn't come up in your search so it won't show in the company box above. Would you rank in which order you would add to or start a position in these names based on our current situation. The companies are ADYEN, DOO, EQB, LUMINE, BN, NVEI, Copart. Thx

Q: Good afternoon,

Could you please contrast BN and BAM with respect to exposure and sensitivity to the commercial real estate market. If one was looking to underweight commercial real estate, which would be your choice (or not at all)?

Thank you

Q: Is BAM exposed much to commercial real estate? What percentage of their cash flow is from this sector? Thanks

Q: Wow, wild ride lately. I'm looking for some solid companies to tame things down in my portfolio. I would greatly appreciate it if you could recommend some companies that fit the following requirements:
1. Are reasonably valued.
2. Have a solid business model that have protective moats that shied them from competitive threats.
3. Generate strong cashflow and earnings even in a higher interest rate environment.
I'm interested in both Canadian and American companies. Thanks, as always for your support.

Q: Hi 5I team,

I manage a very small RRSP for my daughter and was hoping that you could give me 2 Canadian and 2 US stocks that I could add to her portfolio.
I would appreciate an entry point for them and also your reasons for the selection.

Thanks,
Joe

Q: Hello, I received a few hundred shares of BAM from the BAM.A spin off. Between BAM and BN which one offers the better return?
Are KXS and ENGH keepers? Do they offer any real advantages over their competitors ?
How about LSPD? As I recall LSPD offered point of sale to restaurants and small businesses. Since the re-opening, LSPD has not gained market share. what is the problem with he company?

I appreciate your thoughts!
Thanks
CR

Q: Hello,

Brookfield Corp has been on a downward trajectory for over a year. Lower lows. It now trades around 9x next 12 cash flow per share. How is this not a table pounding buy? At what price would you average down, and at what price is it an absolute steal at?

Q: I am looking at reconfiguring my newly established RRIF into the above equities with the 3 etf’s being 25% each with the remaining 5 stocks being the remaining 25%. What is your opinion of these stocks and portfolio composition? Am I being too cute ? Thanks. Derek.

Q: I'm currently overweight financials. Mainly due to new positions in BN/BAM/TD. With over 21% in financial broken down as follows would you begin to trim or consider BN/BAM diverse enough not to be a financial and thus reducing the overall financials concentration to 13.5%

BNS - 2%
BAM -2%
BN - 4.5% been growing this position (ideally want it to be 6%)
EQB - 1% new position
GSY - 2.5%
JPM - 2.6%
TD - 2.21% new position
Visa - 4.23%

10 year investment horizon.

Your thoughts are appreciated

Don
