Q: Hi, i have a question relating to increase energy demand from Ai.
Most Belief is that with the increase use of Ai there will be significant demand of energy. But at the rate of our technological advance and improvement of efficiency would it not reduce the energy needed for ever newer chips develop in the future. Therefore it would not have a significant impact on utilities and Renewable companies in the longer term. Can i have your opinion on this? Thank You

Q: Paul asked today if PRL's dividend has been increasing in proportion to its income increases, or are they increasing the payout ratio. In your answer, you mentioned the dividend is up by 30% compared to last year at this time, but you didn't compare this to the income increase. PRL had an 84% income increase in 2023 compared to 2022, and in Q1 of 2024, the income was up 77%, so in fact they have been DECREASING the payout ratio, as the income has been increasing at a much faster rate than the dividend.

Q: i would like to increase my US equity exposure which largely consists of VUN and VIG currently. I don't have a specific small cap holding but feel the lagging performance might indicate it is a good time to buy TQSM. Would you advocate buying now or waiting until October?
Thanks.
