Q: The majority of our utility holdings are in FTS /AQN, and when looking at value metrics: EV/Rev, p/b, forward p/e and yield, these 2 stocks appear to rank highest of the stocks listed above. NPI seems to be 3rd best in value, but it does have a higher p/b ratio. We also hold the following utilities in decreasing weight: BEP.UN, NPI and INE. We need to trim SU/ENB and want to add more to some or all of the latter 3 utilities - would you add the most to BEP.UN then NPI or focus on just BEP.UN? INE appears to be a bit over-valued at this time. Should we continue to hold INE, sell or add on more significant dip? We income/growth investors with 10+ year time horizon.
Thanks!!

Q: I recently yielded to Bitcoin craze and bought GBTC ETF as a hedge. However, I noticed that, on bad days, GBTC is dropping faster than bitcoin and, at the moment, it trades at significant discount to NAV. I can explain this by the lack of redemption program. However, my main concern here whether the amount of BTC per share is fixed (according to Greyscale website it is 0.00094690) or can be freely manipulated by the fund? What concerns me is the footnote that this is the rate as of March 3. I checked the prospectus and don't see anything there about BTC/share ratio. Basically, if the fund can reduce BTC/share at will, the investment value here is quite questionable. Do you have any information/thoughts on this?

Q: Hi 5i team,

My question is on the future of natural gas as a heating source in Ontario, for example. I will not try to make this overly political and just provide facts based on carbon tax rates from Enbridge's site: https://www.enbridgegas.com/Natural-Gas-and-the-Environment/Enbridge-A-Green-Future/Federal-Carbon-Pricing-Program

As of April 1st Ontarians will pay 7.83 cents / cubic metre in Carbon ta . With current Gas Supply Charge (GSC) at 10.356 / cubic metre this works out to a ct of 75.6% before hst. I a short 9 years this will increase to roughly 320% ((170 ÷ 40 * 7.83) ÷ 10.356) of the GSC.

So my question is: If people move off natural gas to heat their homes, what impact will this have on the pipelines. Do you see any other investment themes to replace natural gas? Basically get off the grid solutions, although they are really expensive today,

Thx
