Q: Hello 5i,

Trumponomics is laying waste to "green" energy. Can you list 5 stocks in Canada and 5 stocks in the USA that would be most affected? Is it worth hanging onto a small position of BEPC after the news? We have a small loss at this time.

Thank you

Q: Someone sent me a useful update on PLUG just over a year ago - I would appreciate an update - inc current prospects - as it looks as though it might be making a base etc and I wondered if they had got their financing sorted. On PTK do you know who offered them financing and if they are a credible - and supportive - player.

Q: Hi Folks,
My understanding of Ai is that it requires or will require a lot of energy and storage. Am I correct in stating that? Can you provide me with a few names in each category that you feel would be a good buy today for a long term hold.
Thanks

Q: I am having trouble making sense of their shareholders letter which is supposed to explain why PLUG has had difficulties this year; there seems to have been a shortage of H2 when PLUG makes the stuff, which makes their statements gobbledegook. What is going on - can you clarify please. I thought previous commentary had identified them as prime movers in a sector in which H2 was going to play a significant role.

Q: I'm considering taking a position in one or more of the following EV infrastructure roll out companies most of which have been around for a number of years now. How would you rate them, first, in terms of business plan and management effectiveness as well as potential future growth prospects but but also in terms of their financials, safety as an investment and finally in relation to technological superiority if that is a relevant consideration?
Thank you

Q: I see the US infrastructure plan includes $8 billion to establish hydrogen hubs and enhance hydrogen manufacturing. Since I sold XBC, I have no foothold in the hydrogen space. Is this a good time to invest in hydrogen and can you suggest any possible investments in Canada or elsewhere? Thanks for your guidance.

Q: I’m currently down on eglx, xbc and at, would you be comfortable adding a little to these names at these levels? Have they turned the corner, especially eglx and xbc? What would it take before adding more?

Also do you still like PLUG as a growth name? Looking to add more here. Thanks!
