Q: Hello Peter & Co,
A follow-up on a fellow member's question on the subject. I too own BEP.UN and have noted your reference to NPI and RNW; but I am wondering if you had also considered Boralex BLX and Innergex INE.
Thanks,
Antoine

Q: AIF has popped after reporting earnings and has been trading sideways for a year. Could you characterize this company (is it a stretch to call this REOC alternative)? Is it value here and could you give your opinion? Thank You.

Q: Thanks for a great service. I seldom ask a question as I usually find the answers in searching for recent questions.
Could I have your opinion of ZWU. I am retired and need the income from my RRIF due to the low interest rates. If not ZWU, any other ETFs I may consider.

Q: hello 5i team,
i have heard you mentionning how utilities will be hit when there is a rise in interest rates. It has made me wonder whether i should take some action now. I have about 7 per cent in the utility sector. of that 7 per cent, about 4.5 per cent is composed of Emera. Well, when i look at my portfolio i have two questions:
the first is should I take some out of utilities altogether at this point and put it in another sector?

if it is a good idea to stay the course, would I be best to sell some emera and buy, say, bem.un? I do own some Enbridge,aswell. Or, given that this is a fairly secure sector, is there possibly not much value in diversification?

Q: Interpipeline (IPL) raised it's dividend substantially in November '14 and raised it a record 18 cents or about 13% yesterday while reporting record revenues. Analysts expected more but is it possible they expected too much? This company has delivered stellar results since March 2009 when I bought it at $8,40. Would you agree and still buy it today?
How does Northland Power (NPI)look for dividend safety and possibly some capital gains?
Thank you.

Q: Just when I started to feel more comfortable, they do a share offering today! Long time holder, happy dividend collector but perpetually nervous.... I am in 50% below this share price. What do you think? I find it disturbing that they need to do this right now, with a high share price.
