Q: Since May there has been frequent news regarding China - US rare earth disruptions. Has the price of rare earths increased since May? Has Oaktree's position in NEO changed since your last update about a month ago?

I understand NEO manufactures a broad range of light and heavy rare earth engineered products. Another segment of the company distributes a broad range of light and heavy rare earth functional materials. Is disruptive trade news and potential/real price adjustments positive or negative for NEO?

Another segment of NEO is the production of magnetic powders used in bonded and hot deformed fully dense magnets. What do you think of the recent deal (i.e. NEO's agreement to purchase of Asia Magnets (SAMAG), a privately owned manufacturer in Chuzhou, China, of compression molded NdFeB bonded magnets)?

Following this through, what would you anticipate the Q2 earnings on Aug 12, I believe, to look like?

Thank you

Q: Hello 5i Team,
I currently hold in my TFSA both AQN and BLX. Judging that the market is running for safety and that I have a long time horizon, would you consider adding/switching to another utility such as CU(11x PE) or BEP. If not, any other companies tickle your fancy?
