Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Could you help me analyse/dissect Brookfield's investment in Terra Form Power and Terra Form Global. The press release indicates a 1.4 billion $ investment by Bam.a and about 500 M $ commitment by BEP.un . Is the Bep.un portion part of the 1.4 Billion or in addition to it? Do the acquired solar and wind assets become part of the BEP.un portfolio complementing their predominately hydro-electric assets?
BAM.a is one of my largest , longest term holdings and I would like to continue to benefit from their expertise. That said, I would like to focus any additional investment on the renewable energy segment so which entity is likely to benefit most directly from this acquisition - recognizing that Bam is a growth vehicle and Bep largely an income one with some growth?
Thank-you

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan and team,

Earlier today I read the following report about insider selling at CRH.

"CRH Medical Corp. (CRH-T)
Tony Holler, the chairman of the board, sold 500,000 shares at a price of $9.10 per share on the final trading day of February. That same day, Ian Webb, who sits on the board of directors, sold 30,000 shares at a price of $9.194 per share, and fellow board member, David Johnson, reduced his portfolio holdings by 25,000 shares on March 3."

Should investors be concerned about this insider selling within a short period?

Thanks for your insight on this issue!

Q: Hello 5i team,
Instead of collapsing EFN into ECN as per your note,I was thinking of keeping both but on an equal weight basis. Your comments are most appreciated.
I usually follow your suggestions, except once when you exited FSV in March 2015, post split; I kept both and had an average return of 90%.
Keep up the excellent work because I count on it. I'm 74 years old and when my brain power will eventually slow down like my creaky bones, I will have no choice but to "blindly" follow your advice.
Kind regards,
Antoine

Q: 1) i am a little bit confused , is the growth portfolio = the summary
2) you said that you have trim ` SHOP (shopify) ` but dont see this stock in either portfolio (balanced, income or summary )
3) you added BSM TECH (gps) but again dont see in either portfolios
4) suggestion: when you add or delete a stock IT SHOULD BE REFLECTED IN THE PORTFOLIOS AT THE SAME TIME
THANKS
