Q: I am looking for exposure to the renewable energy space particularly in solar, as I think that in the next decade it will be a good investment. Could you recommend several ETFS that might fit that goal. I expect that we need to look outside of the Canadian market but do not exclude it.

thanks

Q: Good morning to all at 5i team!

I'm a novice trader and I hope my question is not too obvious.
I like to watch the "analyst estimates" on the Wall Street Journal website and I wonder how realible those estimates are and who provides them ?
Fo example, the average target price for BIN (Progressive Waste Solutions) according to the Wall Street Journal (aka their data provider) is set to 31.38 (see http://on.wsj.com/1gH1FaE).
This is lower than the current price at 35.6.
What's your though on such estimates ?

Thanks !

Q: The influential Barron's magazine wrote about this company recently with some specific concerns.
1. This is no longer a growth company. It deserves only a market multiple for a subprime lender which is 1X book value and not 1.5X which means a 35% lower stock price.
2. They have razor thin margin to protect against a possible downturn in the overheated Canadian housing market with salaries not rising.
If these concerns are valid. I have a feeling the bears will pile back in. What is your view? Thank you.

Good morning
What is wrong with Northwest Real Estate investment Trust? I thought it would be a stable business with long lease high quality tenants however I am down 32% now on my 1% position.
Are their buildings now worth a lot less?
Would you now consider the dividend still safe or would I be better to take my lumps, sell and move on to Chartwell which has a lower dividend but I think you consider a much better company for a long hold.
