RE:RE:RE:Brookfield Fatiguehey sarge, i still have a little "swapper's remorse" over swapping some bepc for bip.un but c'est le guerre, eh? i'm very happy with the bpy.un move by bam because my bpo preferreds have really come to life. they might get swapped for bam if the ratios are good. but the days are getting longer and that's got me dreaming sunny skies.

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.
Take her easy

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,
