Q: I currently hold ET in my income portfolio and it is my only holding in Technology. I am comfortable holding as I do require income from this account (I am retired). Would you add another Tech company with higher growth potential to my portfolio and if so, what would you recommend?

- Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. (BEP.UN)
- Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. (AQN)
- Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. (BIP.UN)
Q: What do you think about Algonquin's 54% debt to asset ratio? Is this a little high or not bad? I note that it is higher than bep and bip's ratios. With word of them looking at more acquisitions, are they in potential trouble with debt levels if they do so? Thanks.
Q: I'm confused about the payout if the deal goes thru. Do I get the shares @ the completion date cost, or shares at the going rate. As of now, I paid 31 and they are 28?
Q: Hi Peter I hold a substantial position in ALA and I am water by 10+% I like the story and business but wonder how much further this stock will fall if the aquistion does not go through

Q: Greetings!
What is your take on Cominar's recent new plan. Does it warrant merit to my thought of switching some Alaris for Cominar in view of growth and dividend security.
Many thanks

Q: Hello 5i:
I can't get a 10 year history on this fund (am presently an owner), and would like to add to it. Can you advise, using opinion if that's all that's available, how this fund would have fared in the period between 2005 and 2010? I've tried using funds in the category, but it seems to regularly beat the category, so this may not be a valid comparison. If its a true high-yield fund, the performance in ANY volatile period should be disma. Can you comment please?
thanks

Q: When you buy an action with a dividende at a given rate, does the dividend payment you receive stay the same indepently from the variations in the price of the action ?
And, when you buy the same action again, but at a different price and at a different dividend rate, how do you calculate the actual dividend you are to receive ? For exemple,if I bought bip.un at 44. with a dividend rate of 4.40% and I buy it again at 54. with a dividend rate of 4.%, what is the effective combined dividend rate after the second purchase ?
Thank you for your kind attention,
Jacques

Q: I am slowly building the BE portfolio in my RRSP as funds become available. For instant diversification, would it make sense to own 20-30% ZDV for access to bigger names like BNS, ENB, MG, T, MX, CGX and SLF? Basically Financials, Energy and Utilities would be covered. I could then concentrate on adding the smaller names like SIS, PBH, GUD, ENGH, TOY for the remainder of the portfolio? Would it defeat the essence of the BE portfolio? Any other ETF would be better? Thanks!
Q: Can you comment on the Aimia and Diversified deal?

Q: On august 17 in answer to an ALA question, you said that a regulatory agency (?) had recommended AGAINST approval of the US acquisition. I have head nothing about this anywhere else. Can you please elaborate, tell us how important this may be for ultimate approval, and provide a link to this? I was quite surprised to hear this, given the Q2 conference call said progress on the acquisition was ahead of schedule and they expected final approval by the end of Q2.
Q: Which would you prefer of BIP.UN and BEP.UN for a 2-3 year hold in a TFSA - Thanks, Ted
Q: I am an income focused investor who also wants growth. It appears that 5i generally favors ENB over ENF because it is larger and has other better attributes comparatively. Can you help give some examples or scenarios where the stock price of ENF may go down but, not ENB. Do you think ENF price would go down if ENB announced that they were selling a portion of their holdings?
Q: Hello team,
I am looking for income in energy sector? i am leaning towards a investment in more of a gas related company than oil, I believe its a better longer term bet. The two companies i am most interested in are Keyera and Altagas. They both have been trending lower lately! What is the main difference in the two companies, and which is your favourite for a 3-5 year hold. Plus could both be owned? Do they compliment each other?
Thanks,
Stephen

Q: I am a long term holder of GE, and ALA. Even-though the market has been good these stocks continue to go down.
In your opinion, should they be kept or should I take some of the gain before it dwindles away.

Q: Greetings 5i,
I currently hold half positions in both BCE and RCI.B (BCE for stability and RCI.B for growth). I am a fairly conservative investor, and like the telecom sector for its ability (at least in my opinion) to be somewhat defensive in more volatile markets.
In your opinion, is it worth it to hold both of these companies, or would you recommend a single holding at a full position? If the latter, which would you recommend I keep?
Thank you.

each other very closely for every time period for the last ten years.Is there really any advantage in owning one over the other? Joe
