Brookfield Corporation: Trump Administration's Priorities Match Bullish Sentiment
On Monday, Brookfield got caught up in the selling of Canadian equities as the world awaited a deal between the US and Canada on border security. Even before the deal was reached, the selling was unjustified. As a company that owns US assets directly, BN isn't at risk from tariffs. Its renewables subsidiary exports power to the US, but that's just one subsidiary.

Match Group: This Could Be The Turning Point
Despite a low multiple, Match Group's revenue growth and capital allocation remain unconvincing, leading me to maintain a Hold rating. Q4 results show a 1% revenue decline, with Tinder's revenue dropping 3% and paying users down 5%.
