Q: I am one of those shareholders which held my shares in VNR until it went ex-divi. It seems the acquirer, Noverco has intentionally obfuscated the previous communications around the September dividend. Do you think the companies involved were trying to be, in anyway, less than fully transparent?

Q: Hi 5i,
Further to Andrew's question about the BIP.UN creation of the BIPC entity, here are a couple of exerpts from BIP's press release. They do make mention of this also being something of a "special dividend", for what it is worth.
"the transaction will be analogous to a unit split as it will not result in any underlying change to aggregate cash flows or net asset value except for the adjustment for the number of units/shares outstanding."
And,
"Currently, unitholders are expected to receive 0.11 BIPC shares for each unit held of Brookfield Infrastructure (i.e., one BIPC class A share for every nine Brookfield Infrastructure units held) in the form of a special distribution."
Not sure if this helps clarify or just further muddies the waters, but thought I would pass this along.
Cheers,
Mike

Q: With the recent run up in EIF's share price, I've made a solid profit.
I'm now considering selling either half or all of my EIF shares and purchasing partial positions in both MX and NTR. I feel the latter two companies currently represent good value and could be considered "safer" than EIF. I have a 3-5 year time horizon.
Kindly provide your opinion

Q: BIP.UN: announced to-day chg. in corp. structure with regard to capital ie. for every 9 units held one would get one share of new company. Have you had a chance to review this new structure? I own a fair number of units for quite a while; ergo, my question: should I sell or wait for conversion - is it a good deal?
