Q: Peter, my question is on Brookfield Renewable. As an A rated company I have bought it on and off for the last two and a half years.Not counting dividends my share average price is down 6%. Do you expect the share price to rise a lot over the next years, to rate such a high rating? I now have a considerable amount in BEP. Thanks Ken

Q: Hi Peter/Team... need your feed back on the large 42% West Face Capital holding of MND. Do you think they might take MND private in future??? What are the chances MND might be taken over "publicly"?? I want to add to my existing MND position but also want to hold it long-term and not worry about a near-term stink bid.

Q: Hi, what do you think of HNL at this level? Would it still be a hold as I currently own it and have enjoyed the recent run.

Q: I had an order in today for Fortis shares, but missed on my offer. I don't know whether to be happy or sad! As we now know, trading was haulted at the end of the day due to their announcement of purchasing UNS Energy of Arizona. Is 1.8B rather massive for Fortis? If the price moves downward tomorrow does one buy now, or wait until the dust settles? I was buying for the long term. I'm not too keen on purchasing companies heavily in debt. Your opinion of this deal would be very much appreciated. Many thanks, and Merry Christmas 5i staff.\
John.

Q: 5i
I thought LGT s numbers in the last quarter looked really good .
Do you see continued good growth in this company over the next few years and would now be a good time to take a half position ?
Thanks as always.

Q: Merry Christmas to one and all!

With TFSA season fast approaching, I was wondering if you had any thoughts about how to proceed with buying stocks with this in mind: being fully invested I have little free cash on hand in each of our TFSA accounts. Cash grows, albeit slowly, with left over DRIP money. So, $5500 would seem to limit us to stocks trading at, say, $55.00 per share or less. Stocks I might like to acquire (BAD, VET, BNS, etc., etc.)exceed my ability to buy in what I presume is a board lot, i.e. 100 shares. So, would you prefer buying lower-priced stocks in multiples of 100 or buying a higher-priced, but arguably "better" stock at less than 100 shares? The thesis is "Buy and hold" for distribution/dividend income which first and foremost would be "Dripped". I rarely sell unless there is compelling news that warrants a trade or re-balancing/diversification come into play.
Thanks,
Mike
