Q: Hi team!

I currently hold MG, NPI, QST, REAL in my TFSA and am down in all. Which would be your favorite to add another half position to at the moment?

Or would this be a better opportunity for me to take that money and purchase NVEI at this current lower price point?

Thanks for all you do!

Q: Hi, I have read that several U.K. utilities have recently collapsed given soaring wholesale natural gas prices and the inability to pass costs on to customers. Could the same thing happen here and if so which companies might be the most susceptible? Could any of the above companies be impacted? Thanks.

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: 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: Hi 5i team,

I want to start investing in Renewable energy and utility companies. What are the key financial metrics to value if the company's share price is expensive? Ex. I am considering to get BEPC but it seems very pricy comparing with AQN on Fwd P/E basis (193 vs. 20)

Thanks,

Q: Greetings 5i.

I would like your view on the following. Would you prefer to buy a basket of power utilities (FTS/H/AQN etc) to create a hybrid ETF for sector exposure? (if so, can you provide a list of your favorites?) Or is it worth the mer to buy an ETF that has most of them embedded within? In which case, which ETF would you recommend?

Many thanks for your help.

Q: Two related questions. I'm overweight in utilities and want to shift some of the funds invested here to one or two Canadian consumer cyclical stocks.
1) Which would you sell: BEP, NPI or AQN? Or would you sell some of each?
2) Which 2-3 Canadian cyclicals would you recommend with yields >1.3% that are likely to grow at least 20% in the next 12-18 months?
Thank you.
