Q: Good Afternoon 5i Team

I have a small position in NRG. Have noticed over the past month very little movement on the stock price and, for the past 8 days, it has stayed at $2.25 with very little volume.

Last you reported there is risk but potential. is there anything you can add to that today that might speak towards what you see moving forward and what reasons if any for the stagnant price and minimal trading?

Thanks for all you do

Gord

Q: Peter,
I have a mixed bag of CDN and US stocks in my RRSP. I like Blackstone, especially for its dividend. However unlike many of my US holdings, the dividends are reduced by a withholding tax. Does this have something to do with being an LP?

Q: For those worrying about large capital gains, a stock donation to charity, if you are planning to donate to charity anyway, means you don't pay gains and your charity receives the full value of your stocks when they sell, plus you get a tax benefit. It's a win/win/win way to rebalance, it seems to me. (5i team, please say if there's something wrong with this theory)

Q: Peter, just a comment not a question. I view the departure of Bitove as a strong positive rather than as a negative.

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

Can you comment on Chinook Energy's capital program announcement today? Does this shift the company into more of a growth company? What is your outlook for CKE at today's price?

Thanks,

Jordan

Q: Just wanted to get your take on Master Limited Partnerships and are there any in Canada? Do you feel it would be worthwhile to buy some US MLPs seeing as they would incur the double taxation?

Q: Peter and Team,

I've owned Constellation Software since the model portfolio was created and have done well with it... very happy, great pick!

Reading their quarterly results, it seems like they are firing on all cylinders still - cash is up, debt was reduced, they grew both by acquisition and organically, earnings per share are up - things look good and the company still seems like 'A' quality.

Am I missing anything?

Q: Hi guys,

Is there a place where I can find reliable financial information on all Canadian and U.S. companies. For example, type in a ticker symbol and access recent quarterly results for the last few years, P/E ratios, forward P/E, etc. I don't mind paying for the service if the information is reliable.

Thanks a lot!
Jason
