Q: Hello 5i Team,
Utilities and pipeline companies are counted as 'blue chips' in many retirees' portfolio due to 'safe' dividends and some growth opportunities.
With the current thesis of the decline of fossil fuel in the context of low carbon future, what are your thoughts on these companies? Would there be a change of guards with these industries being replaced by renewable energy and clean tech energy in the next decade?
I have the following names which I am concerned about where they will stand few years from now? Which are the weaker ones that I should sell?
PPL, KEY, AQN, TRP, FTS, ENB.
Are there Cdn or US companies that you can suggest as future 'blue chip' in the renewable energy and clean tech energy industries? I already owned BEP.UN. Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan et al:
IF, I know this is a BIG IF, Gold does take off, what are the chances of ELD taking off with the price of Gold? How do you rate this stock when compared to other Gold stocks? Say... Alamos or CG. I see that ELD hasn't figured in Q&A for some time now.

Q: What is your opinion of the product that Flyht Aerospace has and its potential in today's market. I really like the theory of the product but as the price lingers I'm thinking there must be some problem or issue that is stopping companies from purchasing their solution for all aircraft. Is it still a leading edge solution in the market place and its cost per aircraft is what is holding sales back? Management? Or does it simply need more time. Would appreciate your input here
Thank-you in advance
Terry
