Q: WEF is down right now with a good dividend. There's a strike going on with the company, the forest sector in BC is down plus the trade situation with the US and China is still not good. The debt situation for WEF appears to be OK. Your thoughts on a longer term hold 2-3 years until we get out of this slump??

Q: Hello 5i. I would like your opinion on the renewable energy industry. These companies seem to have done well over the yr. Would you classify these as being cyclical and what would there cycle be? I am looking at getting into these but find their valuations expensive currently. Do you see a catalyst for their prices falling in the near future or do they have momentum on their side?

Not that any of the stocks in the portfolio will be bought out any time soon, could you still hazard a guess and list the top 3 in order and why?

Q: Holy volume batman. Only down 3.5% on Thursday which seems pretty good considering volume is up 4500% on the day.
This stock recently broke below its long term channel on my plots and I was hoping for a bounce up, not down.
What do you read from the volume on Thursday and what are you thoughts on stock price a year out?

Q: Hello 5i,
I am sure you will get some further questions about this, so don't bother posting this if it is merely one of many.
BIP has announced the creation of a new entity that will trade separately and be in addition to the existing BIP entity. It sounds like, as an existing unitholder, I will receive 0.11 (I think) shares for every one BIP unit I hold and that this will be deemed to be a Special Distribution over and above the regular quarterly distribution. It seems I do not have to do anything, just wait to receive the shares.
So my questions are:
1. Do I have this right?
2. What might this do the the existing BIP.UN unit price?
3. Is this dilutive, accretive or neutral in terms of unit/share count?
4. Do the expressed aims or goals seem to be worth the effort and expense in creating this new entity?
5. From the (little) information available, would you think it would be best to:
a) keep the shares and leave well enough alone
b) add to the shares
c) sell them and either buy more BIP.UN or,
d) buy something else
And, finally,
6. They mention the new shares as being more tax-friendly - at least for U.S. purchasers. Can you shed any light on if these shares are better for Canadian investors to hold rather than BIP.UN units from a tax perspective?
I know there probably isn't a ton of information/detail out there yet, but thought I would ask anyway.
Thanks for any clarity you can bring to this!!!
Cheers,
Mike

Q: Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. (“Brookfield Infrastructure” or “BIP”) (NYSE: BIP; TSX: BIP.UN) today announced the intention to create a Canadian corporation in order to provide investors with greater flexibility in how they access BIP’s globally diversified portfolio of high-quality infrastructure assets.
Foresee any negative consequence from this structure?

Q: Peter; Could comment on the BIP.UN announcement re the spin off of Canadian assets. It’s almost like a dividend - any tax involved here for a holder - liquidity - etc ? Thanks. Rod
Q: BIP.UN: announced to-day chg. in corp. structure with regard to capital ie. for every 9 units held one would get one share of new company. Have you had a chance to review this new structure? I own a fair number of units for quite a while; ergo, my question: should I sell or wait for conversion - is it a good deal?
Q: Could please comment on Brookfield's announcement to change to their corporate structure and what it might mean to retail investors. Does the announcement mention when this might happen and what the affect this might have on their dividend policy.
Thank you
Thank you
Q: I have a large capital gain this year and am wondering if this is a good time to tax-offset that by disposing of some reset preferreds ( e.g TD.PF.K; BCE.PR.M; BP0.PR.N; BRF.PR.F) on which I have had considerable losses. Would a Preferred ETF (with an acknowledged lower yield at current prices) be more suitable for a retiree with a quite adequate pension?
Q: re: Kelly's question this morning - which 5 companies of the list have been journalled to a U.S. account?
