    I think I have had Brookfield stock for over 30 years back when it was Edper, Hees, Brascan, Coscan. It used to have a very complicated owner ship structure. Anyway I made money by doing what Brookfield was doing. It sold Brookfield Homes , I sold, when they starting buying I bought , when they bought the Brookfield Homes convertible pref so did I. There were so few owners of that issue it couldn't trade.

    Can someone clarify the below:
    They bought the office in Park avenue at $ 434M and sold 21 years later at $2B. That is a CAGR of 8%, which is comparable to returns from an index fund. Not to judge anything, just trying to make sure I didn't miss something here.

    • @randomz324
      @randomz324 3 роки тому +5

      It's a little more complicated, they bought the property with only 140M down, renovated the property, and refinanced it multiple times pulling out significant amounts of cash. I suggest reading the section titled 245 Park Avenue in the 2017 shareholders report for the full synopsis, it's hard to calculate CAGR but it definitely exceeds 8% bam.brookfield.com/~/media/Files/B/BrookField-BAM-IR-V2/quarterly-reports/2017/f-bam-q1-2017-ltr-to-shareholders.pdf

    As much as I believe there's no blueprint to Investing as the market is dynamic and nobody knows what's gonna happen next, I know for sure the prominence of Fin advice or a opinion from a professional who's been through it all. Considering the recent global crisis, waiting would be best right?

      ​ @Jon Van Wie I agree, my profit has been consistent despite the assets direction. I take loses too but they’re calculated. Got into the stocks precisely 2019 and having lost multiple ptf, I knew I had to learn or earn passively. Considering age and I time, I picked the later. 7 quarters later with my current Portfolio manager, Yvonne Annette Lively, I hold a $827k ptf averaging 15% month roi. Also gained over $178k on just my IRA account following proper guidance. Financial security is achieved through
      diligent savings, strategy, discipline and diligent Investments.
