Q: Like 5i, I have held Enbridge for quite sometime. Looking back to 2014, Enbridge has gone nowhere and depending on the purchased price, e.g. 5i's case, in the negative. As explained to Paul a week ago Dividend is great, still very safe, etc. Now with the latest weak quarter, all the political, environmental hoopla; could you explain the benefits, even in an income portfolio of why Enbridge should be retained.
Thank You, Stephen S

Q: Hi, I'm looking for a solid growth company to invest in with the environmental theme. There are recent questions on this that have been helpful but valuations are shifting fast. Could you suggest some options that look good today, taking into account current prices?

For example, I was reading your helpful report on Xebec from December, and note the pencilled-in 5-year return is nearly achieved already (presumably due to ongoing ESG mania): "Using multiples of 3.5x sales and 28x EBITDA (still much lower than current multiples), we see room for potential upside of 50%+ over a five-year period. Certainly there are risks to owning shares in the short-term, but we see plenty of upside potential for long-term investors. "

Q: What's your view on Peller's earnings? I've been holding a long-term small core position and am thinking of doubling it based on what I thought was a decent looking quarter. The main issue seems to be one's faith in a post-pandemic hospitality industry resurgence. Would you buy in? Or is there a key metric I'm missing?

Q: hello 5i:
I understand you look favorably upon LNF, looking back at questions asked and the weighting in the Income portfolio. But, looking at Operating Cash Flows: I see $2.51 for 2019, estimates of 3.93 for 2020 and a deceleration to $1.96 for 2021. That is a big drop, and should mean that the stock is currently, at best fairly valued and at worst, going to see a large reduction. Can you comment please, as I am interested in adding the company.
thanks
