Q: As a follow-up to my earlier question since TA owns 60% of RNW and according to the Globe the market cap of RNW is $4.9 billion, TA's share of RNW would be $2.94 billion. TA's total market cap is $3.45 billion. How would you asses the value of TA's other assets. Are any of these assets in renewable energy.

Q: Thinking to sell TA and replace with BEP.UN. This is for an RRSP account, the higher dividend with BEP is nice but not essential, high debt is more of a concern. safety and long term growth opportunities are primary considerations. Do you endorse this switch?

Q: Hello 5i Team
TransAlta (TA) and TransAlta Renewables (RNW) released results March 03.
1 - What are your thoughts on the earnings for both companies?
2 - Which company do you think will provide the best return going forward?
3 - What are your thoughts on purchase price where both companies become interesting?
4 - Why do you think RNW has not raised their dividend for several years, given that they are a "yieldo". Are they receiving a better internal rate of return on drop down projects from TA then the dividend rate?
Thanks
