(although I don't like about their too much concentration in Canada). For that Magna may be a better pick.<br />BSRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01057008502945341889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031526429482744032.post-23102607952784535842016-08-27T13:13:51.195-07:002016-08-27T13:13:51.195-07:00A lot of people seem to love BAM.

I bought into 3 spinoffs of ...Well since you asked. I bought into 3 spinoffs of Brookfield management. They are all limited partnerships. BIP.UN, BEP.UN and BPY.UN…Being limited partnerships they pay out a distribution, not a dividend. They are structured in that way so they will be tax advantaged profit wise, so basically the profits flow through the partnership back to the shareholders in the form of a distribution. It’s so good a deal that the parent company owns large chunks of their own partnerships so the money flows back up to the parent company. And they keep raising the distributions. So for instance on a ‘yield on cost’ basis I am now getting over a 10 percent return on my original investment in BIP.UN on the distribution alone. I own them all in my RRSP so I pay no tax on them and the capital gains on all three partnerships have been great as well especially BIP.UN<br /> <br />I am married to these holdings, got to love Bruce Flatt and the boys at Brookfield Management. The limited partnerships use long term leases that are often indexed to inflation so that there is a recurring profit theme running through all of their partnerships. They are smart shareholder orientated managers who use non-recourse debt to manage their financing needs. Their quarterly letters are well worth reading too. <br />Of course I have made some terrible investments as well but that is how you learn in this DIY investor world.<br />Gavinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04771103734767703683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031526429482744032.post-8904004434205154212016-08-26T20:27:14.332-07:002016-08-26T20:27:14.332-07:00After reading this specific entry in your blog, so...After reading this specific entry in your blog, some of us will need therapy. I do not have permanent holdings (for the two very good reasons that you provided).<br />A good point of reference for stocks worthy of permanent holding status is...believe it or not...The Caisse (the investing arm of the quebec government that invests Quebec's pension money).<br /><br />Just take a look at these selections:<br /><br />http://www.nasdaq.com/quotes/institutional-portfolio/caisse-de-depot-et-placement-du-quebec-68712<br /><br />It's a pretty safe bet that Canada's biggest banks, CN (train duo-poly with CP) and the biggest pipeline will be around 100 years from now (if humanity does not blow itself up).<br /><br />It's rare to look at something the government does and think: WOW! THEY ARE DOING THEIR JOB EXTREMELY WELL! But just look at the selection of stocks. You just want to give the Caisse a round of applause. They even have hundreds of millions invested in each of the two stocks that savvy Americans would consider their all time favourite stocks: (Johnson & Johnson and Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway).Angelo Dallashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15684479515068422912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031526429482744032.post-84900197480470106262016-08-26T17:43:25.763-07:002016-08-26T17:43:25.763-07:00Love it when you tell us a nice and romantic story...Love it when you tell us a nice and romantic story.<br /><br />Here are my permanent holdings :<br />CGI<br />TJX<br />MTY<br />BRK.B<br />UNPEtienne Pouliothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18128534833510929455noreply@blogger.com
