Q: Hi, I have a number of renewable energy companies in my portfolio including the above, which I treat as a mini ETF, and they have performed wonderfully with both yield and growth. They have pulled back with the election however. Have you changed your view on any companies in this area, and if so which ones?

Q: Hi,
I've found myself having a position in both these companies. Do you see long term value in keeping both, or do you think there's too much overlap between them? I have been thinking about buying into marijuana stock now and would be rolling any money from a potential sale into it.

Thanks

Q: ARC (Accountability Research Corporation, April 2016 report) noted a trend to reduced transparency in AQN's financial reporting, saying a number of relatively small items, previously reported separately, were now lumped into the "Other" category. Does 5i have any concerns about this relative to AQN results/forecast? Would appreciate your comments. Thank you.

Q: I bought SJR.B in Jul. 2015 at $27.36. Today, it's $26.57. BMO Investorline Morningstar Canadian Income portfolio and Canada Core portfolio suggests selling this stock and that the fair value is $24.00. Do you agree? They did not raise their dividend in Mar. 2016. If I sell, what can replace it for a secure very long term hold for growing dividend income in a taxable account? BCE? (No banks/financial; I have plenty.)

Q: Having an Income portfolio including the above companies, I'm unsure of the effects of a potential increase in US rates in say December 2016 when at the same time the Bank of Canada holds rates or even maintains dovish tone signally near term rate cut. Will holding Canadian interest rates steady offset what would otherwise be negative pressure of a US rate increase on Canadian dividend paying stocks? Thanks

Q: I have about 9% in utilities in an otherwise balanced portfolio. All these companies have dropped from 5 to 10% in value over the last while. Can you explain this. Should I lighten up on utilities, and if so, which one(s) should I sell? Thanks.
