Q: Any reason why the renewable stocks are so weak in 2021?
For example, BEP.UN dropped almost 14% since 1/01/2021, and most other renewable stocks are similarly depressed YTD. I know this sector was up substantially in 2020. What changed? Market sentiments, or due to some more tangible reasons? Thanks.

Q: Have a pool of cash for a big family trip that now is going to be 2 years away. I would put it in a growth name with solid momentum but my spouse will be asking me " what is the trip money at today" on a regular basis so I figure I need to pick something boring and stable... BCE and H seemed like 2 obvious choices. Any Canadian stable div payers screaming buy right now with a 2 year hold in an unregistered account.

Q: When Roger's takeover bid for Shaw first became public, these shares jumped in value. You suggested the following strategy for investors who held them.
1. Sell one third at that time.
2. Sell one third when the spread between the class A and Class B is gone
3. Sell the last third when the tender is made
Well, now the there is virtually no spread between the A and B shares. Would you still advise selling the second third?

Q: Further to your comments today about Superior, could you also provide the payout percentage and if you consider it a buy today as a new position. This would be more for income than growth. A couple other questions: where does most of their propane go - residential or commercial? How does propane fit into the current "green" initiatives relative to other hydrocarbons?
Thank-you
