Q: Having previously moved most of my energy holdings out of traditional oil and gas, now I am considering ENERGY again BUT …. In the context of the expected huge need for energy to drive the computing power required by AI and crypto. With that in mind do you have strong conviction for the upside potential of a basket of such stocks?

Thanks for your help.

Q: Hi,

I have been trying the understand the pros and cons of covered calls and options ETFs by looking at previous questions on the subject. I spent considerable time on the matter and I am more confused than ever.

Would you be kind enough to summarize your views on the matter and, if you are really positive about it, please provide a list of the best ETFs suitable for a strong growth investor.

Gratefully,

Jacques IDS

Q: Do you think that BEPC is getting a bit ahead of itself now near $50? Comments on BEP.UN have advised to use Fwd FFO to evaluate. I can’t find an estimate for Fwd FFO, but the last reported full-year FFO I found was $1.83 - bump this by 10% with a $50 unit price implies a 25x Fwd FFO, which I believe is about twice as expensive as a recent BEP.UN valuation.

Q: Hi.

Do you agree with TD's move on TOU from Buy to Hold? They also downgraded IMO to a sell. With the anticipated increase in demand for Nat Gas, in spite of TOUs low FCF yield, I would think there is runway for them. Any comments on both IMO and TOU?

Q: Hello 5i,

I wanted to ask you about Renewables as i have nothing in that segment. Is there 1 particular renewable company you like/prefer (BEP-UN-T?) over others or would you suggest the better option would be a renewable ETF?

Always appreciate your assistance and insight.

Q: Hi 5i team,

I am interested in WaterBridge Infrastructure LLC's (WBI) recent IPO and its unique business model within the Permian Basin water management sector. I would appreciate your insights on the following aspects regarding WBI’s long-term growth prospects and its capital-light strategy in the energy infrastructure sector:

1. How do you assess the sustainability of WBI’s margins and cash flow profile, especially considering the long-term, CPI-linked contracts and the increasing scarcity of pore space for water disposal in the Permian Basin?

2. What is WBI’s competitive position as the industry shifts from in-house management of water infrastructure by exploration and production (E&P) companies to outsourcing?

3. What are the key risks and potential inflection points related to state regulatory changes, environmental liabilities, or technological advancements in produced water reuse or disposal (such as desalination for beneficial reuse)?

4. How does WBI compare to other listed midstream alternatives in terms of attractiveness, especially from the perspective of Canadian investors seeking exposure to this mid-cap, high-margin segment in the US? What are the risk/reward considerations?

Thank you for your insights!

Best,
Matt

Q: KMI pays a less than spectacular dividend which increased this year by a very modest amount. The share price has been flat for almost a year. Their recent acquisition may be accretive but this has not yet been reflected in the price. What, if anything, do you see as a catalyst for price growth?
Do you have better alternatives in this space?
Thanks for your great service.
