Q: Me thinks that spaceship that fearless leader Blaarg is piloting is actually an elaborate can of worms. In 10 years time, according to some environmentalists, we earthlings may be drowning in our own carbon-laced pollution, unless a better solution to or energy needs can be met. As a pessimistic Albertan, I suspect most of us will still be driving evil combustion engines in 2034; however, I am hopeful that there are some game changers in the energy horizon - maybe not Canadian - that may save the planet. Do you have any suggestions we can put on our watchlist? I'm waiting for 5i to beam me up !

Q: Hey can get your take on these two companies for income and just general value? I know they are different sectors but both compelling yield. Which would you prefer overall. I don’t really care about small cap risk just which do you prefer? Should I just own both. What did you think of their recent quarterly results? Feel free to take 2 creds here thanks.

Q: Do you recommend holding Enerplus until the close of the deal ? Are there restrictions on ERF insiders and employees on selling their CHRD shares as soon as the deal closes ? If I do not stick with CHRD, I would like to keep these funds in O&G. What are your favorites in this sector. I own WCP, CPG, TOU and the pipelines. ERF is currently held in a TFSA. Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i, I own Enerplus but do not want the CHRD shares there is a special dividend to be paid payable to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 30, 2024 . The ex-dividend date for this payment will be May 30, 2024 . The Special Dividend is intended to equalize the amount of quarterly. The transaction of the takeover is I think May 31/24. Would I be able to sell my shares May 30/24 and still qualify for the special dividend?

Q: "I'm considering lightening up on my energy (oil) holdings and transitioning to some core renewable energy names as it seems to me these companies have a bright future and are currently "out of favour". I'm having trouble determining which renewable energy companies are valued best that also have the best growth prospects. Which names does 5I believe are "best in class" renewable energy companies currently trading at fair multiples with good growth prospects".

Q: I have just sold all our shares in SPB:CA despite the high dividend. It has been languishing for too long and I'm sure there is a better investment somewhere in the energy industry.
It was our only stock in the energy industry and we should replace like for like.
What are your best suggestions for the next 3-5 years for total ROI in a RIF?

Q: I have a question about name changes. In your experience if/when a Company changes its name does this help or hurt. My question is specifically about Veran (Crescent Point Energy). Now I have held this Company stock and options for a long time and made lots of money on it. Also lost some along the way. They have been slowly changing their operations to be very positive ie: no more Saxberg and serial aquisitions. Now they have decided to change the name and the stock has not responded very well. I grew up on a farm and found you may dress up a pig but it is still an oinker after the dress-up. Thanks Gordo

Q: In an earlier question you mentioned that although you disliked giving targets for entry points, you suggested $37 for BEP. That's $10. below its current price: does this mean that you expect further drops? My concern is only that, because of my age, time in the market is limited, so waiting for recovery is less feasible than it was when I was younger.

Q: I always like following the Form 13F SEC disclosures in the USA made by major investors. One of the guys I follow is Stanley Druckenmiller (Duquesne Family Office). I note that he has recently taken a new position in Kinder Morgan. Can I have your thoughts on this name for a new buy? Thank you,

Jason
