Where is the silence? You posted, didn't you :). It is often the case that people who outwardly project snarkiness, sarcasm & skepticism are secretly holding the exact opposite view. I won't be surprised if you are in fact the biggest Brookfield bull, believer & holder on this board!
In any case, since you asked, here is some fresh (about 6 days old) bullish commentary from our dear fearless leader Bruce Flatt. Let's all drink the Kool Aid and feel good about our Brookfield holdings.
"Generalities are dangerous"
"Only some real estate (tertiary properties, not well located, commodity traditional office) is defaulting and we have very little exposure to it"
"It's a tale of two cities"
"We have 7000 properties and 95% of it is good"
"Only 5% is troubled and unfortunately only those make the headlines"
"Our core business which is great industrials, hotels, high end retail and premium office is doing really well. Cash flows were up last year"

If above didn't quench your thirst, here is a Kool Aid refill. Bloomberg interview. Only the first 19 minutes are Brookfield related.
