Q: Hi 5i,
do you think AQN, BEP.UN, BEPC, BLX and NPI might experience some tax loss selling pressure for the remainder of 2021?
Can you rate them in order of purchase preference with #1 being the most favoured for an income portfolio.

thanks

Q: Retired, I am not what we call an eco-anxious, but I never thought I had experienced such a degradation of the climate in my lifetime. So I put my money where my mouth is. I have sold my all my energy stocks. I bought in place some BEPC and would like to know one or two other suggestions. Are there other green energy solutions? Canadian stocks only.
Thank you for your very helpful advise.
Yves

Q: Hello, I'm looking to take a large position (for me!) as part of a generational investment approach and I'm trying to decide between the two or to invest in both.

Here are some the questions I was hoping you could include in your answer:

Do you see these as good candidates for a set-it-and-forget-it long term investment?
What are some of your reasons for preferring one over the other?
Do they ship a similar product mix?
Do they have similar revenue growth - both pipeline and non-pipeline?
Is there a difference in financial health/dividend stability?
Do they ship to similar places? eg Henry Hub for gas/Texas refineries vs cross-Canada vs international shipping ports?
Would you prefer one vs the other or would you allocate a portion in each?

Q: Seems like many of the renewable stocks are showing weak earnings and/or weak stock prices. Is this a short/.medium/long term trend? Are they short term covid related issues?

Q: Hello 5i Team

Inter Pipeline according to the TMX website has 429,219,175 Listed Shares Outstanding and 429,200,000 Total Shares (All Classes) outstanding.

Inter Pipeline according to Q2 financials has 429,200,000 shares outstanding.

Brookfield in their press release dated July 15 states the Brookfield entities own 41,848,857 shares and have an economic interest (but not voting control) through Total Return Swaps in 42,492,698 shares.

1 – Why is there a discrepancy in the shares outstanding on the TMX website and IPL’s financial statements?

2 – What is the actual number of shares that are required to be tendered to BIPC’s offer to meet the 55 % requirement set by the Alberta Securities Commission?

3 – What happens if the percentage of IPL shares tendered to BIPC offer is greater than 55 %, but less than 90 % (where BIPC can force the takeover of the remaining IPL shares)?

Thanks for all you answers during the saga of this takeover.
