Q: Hey 5i team,

It seems as though the solar power industry is gaining traction in the global market, and will continue to do so in the coming years.

With the ever-increasing efficiency of emerging storage solutions to help mitigate problems attributed with solar (ie the duck curve), it appears as though more nation's are beggining to view solar as a feasible option... I'm thinking about the South Australian government's plans for battery storage and India's solar boom.

Can you provide any comments on this trend, and are there any ETF's or indiviual stocks you like, that play the solar market on a global scale?

Always appreciate your input!

Q: Recently some US shipping companies have made major gains. Rather than chase a high performer such as DSX I am interested in its preferred, DSX.PR.B, which is also moving up but more slowly with less volatility and with a high yield of around ten percent. (Another possibility: SB and SB.PR.C) Your advice, please. Thank you.

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I realize you do not cover USA stocks! I do not need any in-depth analysis. The stock spiked up 15.7% today and I do not see any announcements. I am wondering if they got a new contract or just because Europe may have better economic growth. Can you see anything on the "wire"?
Thanks for your help...

Q: NVIDIA (nvda) has done very well from November to February but seems to have lost its momentum since. My question is which is the next NVIDIA and in which sector of the semiconductors do uou think it is best to focus ? For instance, any of the followings would you consider most promising or too risky and why ? Applied Material (amat), Broadcom (avgo), KLA-Tencor (klac), Lam Research (lrcx), Microchip Tech (mchp), Micron Tech (mu), OCLARO inc (oclr), ON Semiconductor (on), Skyworks Solutions (swks), Taiwan Semiconductor (tsm), Texas Instrument (txn). Or any other you have in mind outside that list ?

Love the way you work, you are most helpful. Thanks.

Jacques
