Bruce Flatt is an absolute money managing genius. Like Charlie Munger says: there are very few great capital allocators out there, finding them is like finding a diamond. Bruce Flatt is one of them. As a BAM shareholder, I really hope Bruce stays on for a very very long time and continues to guide Brookfield to more and more success.

Several thoughts 1. David Rubenstein asks very good questions, that he clearly knows the answers on but his listeners do not. 2. His guest truly respect Rubenstein and are willing to answer his questions in depth. 3. This podcast is truly project of passion for Rubenstein. He is a very busy guy and does not need any additional money. 4. The Brookfield stock has done well since 2006 since it well public, from $5 to about $47 5. If your kids want a career in business, tell them to join an investment banking, asset management or venture capital firm. The few people who have joined these firms have the highest salaries.

Bruce Flatt is a humble guy, who does not take full credit of what he has achieved for Brookfield. Naturally, Brookfield had a great break in the early 1990s when Olympia and York went under and they took over some of the latter ‘s gem assets. Thereafter, they build a great portfolio of assets with financial discipline and ride on the falling interest rate environment. A 20% compound average return can only be done in a dream for most asset managers! Nevertheless, it is interesting to see whether Flatt could achieve the same return rate in a much higher interest rate environment in the coming years.

It was claimed in the UK that by selling the power infrastructure to private companies, the savings from a streamlined operation would mean lower power costs however this hasn't materialized. Initially the costs were lowered at the expense of maintenance and ultimately prices went up.

The average price per Kwh for Brookfield IL is 16 cents / Kwh on the other hand at Hydro-Quebec, which is owned by the Quebec govt. it's 6.059 cents / Kwh (in CAD) converted to USD that's 4.5 cents per Kwh which goes to show that just because something is government owned, it doesn't mean it will be more expensive. The CEO's pay increase of Hydro Quebec has to be approved by the government. The Brookfield IL rate is 2% higher than the average electricity rate in Illinois of 15.24 ¢/kWh.

One excellent example of how private entities can be more efficient than the government is the case of parking meters in Chicago. Before those were privatized in 2008, street parking was 25 cents per hour in most neighborhoods. As soon as parking meters were privatized, the prices quadrupled and in some parts are now $7 per hour. That was a genius idea of how to make parking meters super profitable, no government is able to do that. /s

It just transfers debt from the public sector government debt to the private sector, debt doesn't disappear it pop's up in another place be it bank's or private equity lender's but if the private sector companies are mismanaged or overleveraged and interest rates rise, when they companies go bankrupt the debt lands back on the government's structural debt books, this is very dubious process!

@@ominollo I am going in hard on BAM, Re-Insurance and BIP. I have found the research that the experts have done and compared it with mine. You can find a .30 dividend on a $17.00 stock or a $30 stock or $50 stock, or a $100.00 stock. Would you buy the $17.00 stock or is it too good to be true? Which business is better? Read The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham. Read Value Investing From Graham to Buffet & Beyond by Bruce C. Greenfield & Judd Kahn. Those 2 books were instrumental in clearing the foggy confusion & fear of the market from my mind. It really helped. Good luck, I am sure you will be careful with your money!
