Q: Is there an easy way of calculating the dividend yield if the company issues special dividend during the year. I know the present yield is 1.74%, but what would be the dividend yield if you include the special dividends it has issued during the last year. Or if there is a site that does the calculation for you I would appreciate getting it. Many tnx for all your hard work.

Q: How would you rank these companies in terms of overall growth going forward in the energy sector. I'm currently holding TOU, WCP, TVE and KEL.

Largest position is in TOU at around 3% (+44%) and smaller positions in WCP (+69%), TVE (-9%) and KEL (-14%) . I could add to any of these names. How does TOU compare vs AR in terms of natural gas companies? AR has pulled back in the last year and today it was up close to 9% which I couldn't find any news. I'm thinking of selling some TOU or just starting a new position in AR. I also like that AR is buying back shares, have strong insider ownership, founder operated, strong margins and balance sheet. All metrics seem pretty strong with AR, any red flags that you see? Thoughts?

Q: Hello 5i team,
I'm thinking of increasing my position in ZWU in my TFSA. It pays a big distribution of 8.39% at the moment, and is trading near its 5 and 10 year lows. As utilities have been beat down by rising rates over the past year, would you expect a recovery in the unit price as central banks reach their "terminal rates" and look towards reducing rates in 2024? My understanding is that calls are not written on all of the fund's holdings, leading me to think there is some upside in the unit price if/when utilities recover, in addition to collecting an outsized yield. Is my thesis correct?
Thank you!

Q: Your answer to a previous question about BEPC has made me very nervous. You said that the company has missed on earning in eight straight quarters. I still own this company because of 5I's generally positive observations and now I'm wondering what's up when it misses with such regularity. I have a lot of Brookfield companies and wonder if I shouldn't sell my BEPC and put it into BIPC. I have the parents as well so I do like the overall management. But, BEPC? You still like it a lot or a little? Thanks
