Q: Hello Peter,
Any idea why paramount resources is going up everyday recently? I own chartwell retirement, sienna senior living (SIA), concordia healthcare and hydro one. I would like to take a bit more risk for higher rewards. I would like to sell hydro one and put the proceeds towards chartwell, sienna senior living, or concordia. Chartwell is 2 percent of my holdings, sienna senior is 3 percent, and concordia is 1 percent. I was thinking of increasing sienna senior to 4 percent where i get a nice dividend and a potential upside. I was initially thinking of concordia but there does not seem to be much interest in a takeover or does this process take along time. I would appreciate your comments. Thanks very much.

Q: Please comment which type of account (non-registered, RRSP or TFSA) would be best suited to hold Brookfield Business Partners). From the prospectus the distribution will be approximately $0.25 per annum (1 %). I currently hold the other Brookfield LP entities (BEP, BIP and BPY) so I am familiar with the issues associated with T-5013 on my tax return.

Please comment whether it's better to hold the TSE listed units (BBU-UN) in Canadian dollars or the NYSE listed units in US dollars.

Thank you for the excellent service.

Q: With the difficulty getting a new softwood agreement with the U.S. would it be more prudent, at least in the near term, owning a company like WY instead of Canadian lumber stocks at this time? or perhaps owning some WY and either IFP or WEF as well?

Q: I bought shares in EFL 5 days ago and it has since gone up by 92%. The surge seems to be due to a contract for a 200 million euro deal to provide residential energy storage (using its own lithium batteries) to a Europe provider over the next 3 yrs.

The stock has seen sharp pops and drops in the past (it was $8 back in 2001) but may be in for a prolonged growth phase. So my question is what kind of price target to give a stock like this. With other microcaps, I have generally taken my start out capital out once a stock doubles, but I am wondering whether that would be prudent in this case. Would it be better to use stop losses?

"Toronto, Ontario – June 15, 2016 – Electrovaya Inc. (TSX: EFL) today announced that it signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with a Global Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for the delivery of battery modules for Residential Energy Storage with volume quantity deliveries starting early Q1 CY2017. Electrovaya will provide its battery modules with integrated cells and battery management systems (iBMS). Electrovaya's battery modules have unparalleled safety and cycle life performance which is the critical performance required by the OEM.
The demand for Electrovaya's battery modules by this OEM, is estimated to be up to Euro 199 million (Cdn $ 288 million or US $ 223 million) over a period of 3 years. High volume deliveries are scheduled to start in early Q1 CY2017 with smaller quantities with delivery in CY2016."

Q: Hi 5i,
Are you able to provide any more detail on the rumour that Brookfield Renewable Energy Partners (BEP.UN) might be interested in Transalta Renewables (RNW)? At the current share price, is there sufficient value for them to pay enough of a premium to have a chance at a successful bid and still stay within an earnings-accretive price range? Thanks!
