Q: I recently yielded to Bitcoin craze and bought GBTC ETF as a hedge. However, I noticed that, on bad days, GBTC is dropping faster than bitcoin and, at the moment, it trades at significant discount to NAV. I can explain this by the lack of redemption program. However, my main concern here whether the amount of BTC per share is fixed (according to Greyscale website it is 0.00094690) or can be freely manipulated by the fund? What concerns me is the footnote that this is the rate as of March 3. I checked the prospectus and don't see anything there about BTC/share ratio. Basically, if the fund can reduce BTC/share at will, the investment value here is quite questionable. Do you have any information/thoughts on this?

Q: Hi 5i team,

My question is on the future of natural gas as a heating source in Ontario, for example. I will not try to make this overly political and just provide facts based on carbon tax rates from Enbridge's site: https://www.enbridgegas.com/Natural-Gas-and-the-Environment/Enbridge-A-Green-Future/Federal-Carbon-Pricing-Program

As of April 1st Ontarians will pay 7.83 cents / cubic metre in Carbon ta . With current Gas Supply Charge (GSC) at 10.356 / cubic metre this works out to a ct of 75.6% before hst. I a short 9 years this will increase to roughly 320% ((170 ÷ 40 * 7.83) ÷ 10.356) of the GSC.

So my question is: If people move off natural gas to heat their homes, what impact will this have on the pipelines. Do you see any other investment themes to replace natural gas? Basically get off the grid solutions, although they are really expensive today,

Thx

Q: Hello 5i Team
TransAlta (TA) and TransAlta Renewables (RNW) released results March 03.
1 - What are your thoughts on the earnings for both companies?
2 - Which company do you think will provide the best return going forward?
3 - What are your thoughts on purchase price where both companies become interesting?
4 - Why do you think RNW has not raised their dividend for several years, given that they are a "yieldo". Are they receiving a better internal rate of return on drop down projects from TA then the dividend rate?
Thanks
