Q: Hi, is the following news item material and cause for the further drop in the stock the past few days? Thanks.

TransAlta Renewables Inc. (RNW-T) and TransAlta Corp. (TA-T; TAC-N) issued a release responding to Fortescue Metals Group Limited's "view" that the South Hedland Power Station in Western Australia has not yet achieved commercial operation.

The view was outlined in media reports in Australia.

"All the conditions to establishing that commercial operations have been achieved under the terms of the power purchase agreement with FMG have been satisfied in full," the companies stated in a release. "These conditions include receiving a commercial operation certificate, successfully completing and passing certain test requirements, and obtaining all permits and approvals required from the North West Interconnected System and government agencies. The South Hedland Power Station is fully operational and able to meet all of FMG's requirements under the terms of the PPA."

Q: Would you revise your opinion of this etf? On October 3, 2016, 5i wrote, "We note that 15 years ago the share price was more than $26, and capital distributions will continually lower NAV over time."

While share price is still only $17, it is paying nearly 10% dividend consistently since 1999 and the share price has increased 40% since the advice was given. I like that it holds mainly U.S. banks. Thank you for your opinion.
