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: Hello Peter and team
My daughter holds AQN and BAM'A in her RSP account and has to add one more position. Which of BNS or Telus would you choose to add as a long term hold? Could I have your opinion of this total selection disregarding diversification.
Thanks for your great service.

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.

Q: Magna and Linamar are down $25,and $33 in one year. Are things that bad? Are they cheap now? Would you think it is time to start buying a 1 percent position in each since they are good companies anti have no idea where the bottom price is or do these prices look close to a bottom?

Q: Hi there, can you please comment or provide analysis on how CXR, IT, AYA and others within the portfolios would be affected due to the Brexit vote coming up soon, considering revenues from European region and due to FX? I believe Brexit vote may be causing stock price weakness for CXR, maybe? Also, would anyone want to take out CXR before the Brexit vote knowing how volatile Europe would be if England exited? Thanks!

Q: Any thoughts on why BAM.A is down so much lately (especially today). BAM.A seems more volatile than it's holdings (BIP, BPY, etc.). Am I correct on this, and if so, can you explain why it is more volatile. Thanks.
