Q: Hi, is the following news item material and cause for the further drop in the stock the past few days? Thanks.

TransAlta Renewables Inc. (RNW-T) and TransAlta Corp. (TA-T; TAC-N) issued a release responding to Fortescue Metals Group Limited's "view" that the South Hedland Power Station in Western Australia has not yet achieved commercial operation.

The view was outlined in media reports in Australia.

"All the conditions to establishing that commercial operations have been achieved under the terms of the power purchase agreement with FMG have been satisfied in full," the companies stated in a release. "These conditions include receiving a commercial operation certificate, successfully completing and passing certain test requirements, and obtaining all permits and approvals required from the North West Interconnected System and government agencies. The South Hedland Power Station is fully operational and able to meet all of FMG's requirements under the terms of the PPA."

Q: Good day 5i team, I am thinking of starting a position in North West Co. Have been waiting for a dip for entry but may just get on with it and fill my consumer non cyclical space. Question: I don't see it in the income or balanced portfolio, any compelling reasons for not including it in an income portfolio with some capital gain long term? This will be a longer term hold inside a registered portfolio
