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!

Q: Portfolio weighting a aside. For a young investor if you were topping up two of these, which two would you choose? Cheers

Q: Redknee recently had an upgrade and your guest wrote in about it and you said they had received a new contract. Also NMX (Lithium). A guest wrote in about it and you said they had done some sort of financing. They both dropped off considerably (Redknee a lot more). Did something go wrong with them recently? Another question is a lot of shares are A and B and in the case of tech you take the B shares and Andrew Pellier - you take the A. So sometimes it is an A and sometimes it is a B? Going to squeeze in one more. What does guidance mean in your context.
Thank you very much, Dennis

Q: As a pensioner, I just came into $150K of "extra" money that I would like to invest in the 5 year and more time frame. (I'm optimistic). I would like 6 names you can recommend within the following framework.
1. Must be TSE listed company.
2. Much of the income must be from outside of Canada.
3. Must be in the top tier of stable companies.
4. Should be growth rather than dividend focused.
Three "ideal" investments I have in mind is TD, MG, and BAM.A. So along this line, what can you recommend? Thank You.
