Q: For renewable energy, I already have BEPC and AQN. For pipeline and utilities, I've ENB and TRP. I can harvest a small tax loss by selling ENB. Should I use the sale proceeds to add to TRP or buy back ENB after 30 days? Which would you prefer and why? Or would I get much better future growth and financial strength by using the proceeds to buy another renewable energy company like NPI? Thanks.

Q: Have owned these two In my TFSA since October 2019. Since COVID they have not recovered to my cost. DIR has almost got back to break even, But IIP is still lagging. I’m thinking that I should keep DIR but possibly sell IIP. What are your thoughts on these two companies and if I did sell one what would you suggest is a good replacement. Does not have to have a dividend. But have been interested in renewable stocks. Any suggestions. I realize there are several questions here and please takeoff however many credits you deem necessary.

Q: ACO.X. I am looking at this one to add to my portfolio. They seem to have their fingers in a lot of pies: modular business must be hurting with the slow down in requisite businesses that support them like O & G. Seem to have a lot of debt. as well. Do you have a break down of each business segments contribution to revenue and profit? It's share price is almost at peak levels as well. Would you buy at current price for a long-term hold as a core position?

Q: Could you please offer your thoughts on these three going forward. AQN has lagged peers in renewable energy over the last six months and I noted from past question responses that its future growth rate is expected to be comparatively low. Is there a problem here? After the recent rally in BEP, Boralex and others are they no longer attractive in valuation relative to historical multiples? Where would you put your cash at this point and are any of them attractive from a growth/valuation perspective?
Thanks for your insights.

Q: 3 Part Question. I need to sell ENB to offset a capital gain in my cash account. Would you sell ENB now or wait until closer to the deadline? I plan to buy it back after the 30 day period. Would you keep the proceeds in cash for the 30 days or replace it with something else for sector exposure? If replace, what would be your recommendation to replace with?

Q: Hi,
I own both BEP.UN and BEPC in my RRSP. I decided to keep both about a month ago following a response to a question. But now it seems as time goes by that the capital appreciation of BEPC outweighs by far the higher dividend of BEP.UN (at least in my case). Would you still recommend holding both today in a RRSP or to sell BEP.UN and hold only BEPC?
Thanks

Q: I have a small (30K)cash account that is currently divided into three, with equal amounts in cash, AQN and ENB. I am adding more money to the account and would like to either add another position or add to one of the two securities I already have. Please advise. I do not have to worry about diversity. I just want a good, fairly safe, dividend payer.
