Q: Hello 5i,could you comment on LRE Long Run as to the company it self and the sustainability of the dividend (I think they are about to implement a dividend could you confirm). As the stock is below $5.00 I am looking at this as an entry point.

Q: Good morning.

I own shares in Brookfield Asset Management (rated Pdf2 low) and Brookfield Renewable Energy (rated Pdf3 high) perpetual preferred shares (BAM.PF.C & BRF.PR.F). These shares are trading at deeper discounts than other company preferred shares with the same ratings.

May I have your opinion regarding the Brookfield and the Brookfield Renewable credit ratings and can you think of any reason why the subject shares trade at a deeper discount to the others?

Many thanks in advance for your consideration and time.

Q: Thank you for your invaluable service. I have deployed some of my Coastal Energy proceeds and purchased BEP.UN, TCN, FSZ, and AVO. My question: As 2013 is rapidly coming to a close could you provide your top 3 stocks for 2014 - one selection based on income, one for growth, and one based on moderate "spec".

Best wishes and good health to everyone in the new year.

Q: Hi,

Based on the previous posts, looks that you like the potential of TKM. With more than half the value of the company in cash and a good pipeline, would you recommend buying the company. How risky do you think the company is on a risk spectrum ranging from very low to very high risk. Thanks

Q: CSS has been on a downward trajectory (down over 10%) since it announced it was acquiring Best Transfer. Is this an indication of investor dissatisfaction or is it just profit taking - seems like a large draw-down for "just profit taking". Is this a concern or is it a good buying opportunity?

Q: Peter, my question is on Brookfield Renewable. As an A rated company I have bought it on and off for the last two and a half years.Not counting dividends my share average price is down 6%. Do you expect the share price to rise a lot over the next years, to rate such a high rating? I now have a considerable amount in BEP. Thanks Ken

Q: Hi Peter/Team... need your feed back on the large 42% West Face Capital holding of MND. Do you think they might take MND private in future??? What are the chances MND might be taken over "publicly"?? I want to add to my existing MND position but also want to hold it long-term and not worry about a near-term stink bid.
