Q: These stocks make up the Financial portion of my portfolio. I would like to concentrate my holdings (just because you have suggested it in the past). V and FSZ are each approximately 1.5% of my portfolio and the others are each around 2.5%.

I am considering selling FSZ and V in order to buy more of the remaining stocks. Would you endorse this move or given the different types of companies represented should I just stay the course? Capital gains would be owing on V and I tend to hold for the long term.

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Brookfield Asset Management (BAM) said Monday it plans to commence a normal course issuer bid to purchase up to 31.8 million of its class A limited voting shares, representing about 10% of the public float.

Can you tell me how many shares are outstanding. Can you also tell me how such a reduction in the public float might impact the dividends paid out to shareholders over time (e.g. direct correlation)? Could this be the type of company that might annually try to reduce its float 10% to drive its own stock price re-rating? Lastly, is it common for a new company/spin off such as this one to start buying back its own shares?

Q: I have noticed many questions to 5i recently where the subscriber asks why a particular stock ha dropped so much in a day. You respond that there is no news. An alternate response could be that "probably Dan C bought the stock the day before". Conversely, if a stock as a big unexplained jump, the response could be "probably Dan C sold it the day before". I hope this helps.
