Q: I would like to add to my position on this, but am concerned about the valuation.
According to Morningstar, consensus forward P/E is 17.67.
BUT, the TTM earnings are $2.24 per share. If the forward P/E is correct, the forward earnings would have to be north of $5 per share, which doesn't seem to me to be realistic.
What do you think is the forward P/E? If it is over 20, I would likely look elsewhere.

Q: Air Canada has demonstrated very good EPS growth and ROE for some time. Their stock has had a modest pullback, August through September, but seems to be gaining momentum again. Air Canada has the 2nd largest fleet of Max 737 in the world. Why wouldn't the grounding and route cancellations affect results. Q1 and Q2 results beat estimates. Q3 results, typically the largest reporting period, is due October 29. Do you think it will affect Q3 results? Would you take position now or wait until after October 29.

Q: We are presently holding:
Brookfield Infrastructure = 4%
Brookfield Renewable Energy =3%
Brookfield Properties =1%
of a total low seven figure RIF (mine) and RSP (Wife's) portfolio.
In your opinion is a combined total of 8% too high and or would I be better off switching all to BAM ? Normally I do not allow more than 5% to any one company.
Your opinion would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Q: I've been looking over FRU since I saw your most recent answer to a Q about it. Seems remarkable the it is now trading at a price last seen in 2000! It is trading below it's 2008 low. My question is: Considering that oil is a declining asset has this company managed to increase its land holdings in oil over the last 20 years or is it on a slow decline? Also, how did it perform in the 2008 Great Recession?
