Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Hi 5i,
Although they have both been good investments, it seems that since 2010 BIP units have outperformed BEP units by a decent margin. Are the profit margins lower in BEP's focus area or is there something about the energy project investment arc that delays returns in the renewable energy space? I'm wondering what the BIP unit outperformance is attributable to and whether it is a factor that is likely to continue or whether, in the future, BEP is more likely to keep pace, or even to do a little catch-up. I'd be interested in any thoughts you may have on this. Thanks!

Q: I have a small (1%) position in Solium and am up modestly. I was pleasantly surprised at the modest share price bump after the poor Q2/1H earnings. Perhaps the market is looking at the improved topline and giving the company time to convert that to a better bottom line. However, I'm thinking of selling SUM and buying more GUD, which is also a small position. I could also keep SUM and just add to GUD. Could you provide an outlook on SUM for the next 2-3 years and the relative merits of these two? Thank-you.

Q: I have owned EDR since well before the 2008 downturn and kept it. It has turned around and it is now well above what I paid. I am interested in investing more in gold/silver would like your opinion on whether to buy more EDR or is there a better growth play in silver/gold. I have also owned Goldcorp for several years and am still a bit under water with it. I value your opinion. Thanks

Q: Just an aded information regarding the otc market.
Quotes are no longer available neither level 2. Buying is throwing a dart in a tunnel at night.
Your broker may not allow you to trade, and if it does it will only give you (eventually) the bid/ask spread at the time of the quote.
Then there is the problem of selling, some trades are extremly thin.
If you have a portfolio manager, he may be able to acess OTC. Otherwise good luck.

Q: Arun Menawat is now CEO. This is a very interesting development and it now makes sense why he left Novadaq. With Goodman on the Board and Arun as CEO, PRN's future appears to be in good (management) hands. Where do you see this company and its market cap in the next 1-3 years assuming they get approval to sell in Canada and then the USA. GUD has rights in Canada and I expect them to get more involved soon.
