RE:RE:Brookfield FatigueHey Vette
Thanks. My preference on the subs has always been BIP and probably still is. I mainly bought BEP because I liked their hydro and global diversification. I obviously never expected a return like we got. One of the other reasons we sold all our BEP is that the yield had gotten to well under 3%. Since we are dividend income/growth retirees, I figured there was better places for income.
Right now, we still have 2240 shares of BPY.UN. As I mentioned, i'd like to sell another 740 at somewhere between $21.64 and 21.80. I would then consider selling another 700 if it gets to $22.70 and hold the last 800 for the take-over.
I will have missed out on some profits on what we've sold if they do sweeten the deal but I figure selling part is a good hedge.
When the dust settles, our Brookfield exposure will only be BIP.UN.
Thanks again on all your posts.

I agree, US$16.5 is way too low relative to what BAM and BPY have been telling us about NAV. I fully expect a sweetened offer, otherwise, the BPY management and its "independent" board look ridiculous here, pandemic or no pandemic.
I would say BAM et al has been pretty good to you. With 20/20 hindsight, BEP was the one to buy and I had a bit but not enough. $140K profit on BEP is excellent. Congrats.
All the best,
