Brookfield is essentially a PE firm, they aren’t really in the business of anything aside from owning companies.

Not really a conglomerate like say, Samsung or GE.

Regardless, pretty sure a one off company doesn’t really disprove the fact that investors penalize companies for diversifying outside of a pure play. And it could be argued that Brookfield is worth less than the sum of its assets.

google? apple? 3m? J+J? disney?

I would say 3M is the only one in that list that is a true conglomerate, the rest have a specific business focus Applied to related products.

Success doesn’t mean the company wouldn’t be more valuable broken up.

Actually, Google (alphabet) is almost a good example of this mentality. Alphabet is really just a holding company of many smaller companies. The original bigger google realized this. Next step would be spinning them off into their own tradeable entities.

i believe that what happened in 2008 simply won’t repeat in similar form. Two reasons: way too many people are sitting in cash and rise in ETF (quant investing). What we may see is more unpredictable yet perhaps severe response.

Markets have been overvalued for years yet keep setting all time highs. Largely due to the central government’s bail out idea? Anyhow, I plan to go in % of my cash position every time market dips by x

i only made it a couple of minutes before my brain started to hurt.

I've paused my regular investments. I was thinking of waiting until the #cases and #deaths rate tapers off first to indicate this situation coming under control. This could also be represented by the R0 transmission rate. Currently monitoring via this website: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

What do you guys think? I mean I could be wrong, but if we ever hit a -50% correction on the S&P I am selling all my bonds to equity.

generally speaking people around here really advocate trying to time the market.

Alright, I turned my volume on. I disagree, disagree, agree, then agree with her. She's swell.

According to her other video, if I read 5 certain books, I will be 89coupe rich.

Now if Westmount Charter would let me into their school, I would be able to learn to read gooder.

We will see. I think the reason I am on the edge right now is that things seem too over valued and lots of talk of the market crashing...I don't want to be left holding the stick and then having multiple years of waiting just to get back to where I started instead of growing. Once I rebuy, I will hold it for next 20-30 years.

So when are you going to rebuy? $25? $20? $10?

Set goals!

I put in what meager amount I have and have a buy order GTC at $24 for what it's worth.

US Feds cut interest rates from 1.75% to 1.25% ... curious how this will affect things.

I've been buying, but very cautiously.

Part of me wants to pull the ripcord and join the masses in their panic, but panic selling usually never works out.

I decided to push to all cash yesterday....ended up being ~1% YTD. I'm starting to see the credit market get locked up like back in 2008 and significant supply side issues on power generation equipment (can't recall when I last saw it to this degree)

Just updating the thread incase we're down 50% in 6 months time

If I miss a run-up oh well, but damn, the fundamentals are really bad and it's too much of a powderkeg for my sanity (even though my positions are usually long-term)
