    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 года назад +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

      ​ @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.

We prefer faster gains or simple stories, which can be easily manipulated in other for you to like what you hear but often devilishly misleading.
