Q: Hello!
Many months ago you had suggested the corporate version of BIP and BEP for a taxable account. Has this changed? If I sold BEPC I would have a gain in a taxable account, so is it now recommended to sell and buy BEP.UN or can I just keep with one? For BIPC I would have a loss. Can I keep this and could momentum return in this name one day or is it likely to just keep going lower and lower. The volume on the Corporate version is much lower which is not great. I had also liked the fact that institutions can buy the corporate versions, making that version more attractive but perhaps this is not the case.
Appreciate your thoughts. Thank you!

Q: Good morning 5i
I read your recent market update and these words stood out for me:

ut we would argue exposure to metals, mining and production is not such a bad play when there are expectations of economic recovery.

I was wondering if you could give your favourites in those areas, with your reasons. I imangine, given your growth style, that these might be smallcap. Would it be possible to also include larger cap possibilities?
thanks for the great service

Q: Hi there, regarding the EV space, yes the frenzy continues, however, do you see it with more legs to run in the near term, say three to six months? Will stimulus spending continue to assist the EV space, considering the new US administrations go green policies to come?
Considering your previous experiences, can you see the EV space cooling off in the short term with profit taking, or do you see it still running hard for now, based on what you see in the markets today?
Any favorites today? Any you like that still look as though they have some value left in them?
Thanks!

Q: Much has been discussed about the apparent disconnect between the value of these two entities. If, as you suggest, the price discrepancy is too wide, in your opinion is it because BEP.UN is undervalued or that BEPC is overvalued? In other words, if the difference in price shrinks, which stock should move the most?

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Quite a few subscribers mention that they want to increase their fixed income percentage in their portfolio. Yet they ask for your advice on bonds. In my experience, they are not the same. I think of fixed income as a GIC. Your thoughts?
