Q: Hi 5i
BEPC and BEP.UN together represent 8% of my portfolio currently (BEPC=5.6%, BEP.UN=2.4%). Both are doing well and it appears they will continue to provide nice gains over time. I am wondering about trimming BEPC. What would you consider to be a reasonable % holding for BEPC and BEP.UN together? Thanks!

Q: In your analysis of the renewable energy sector, you say there is shift away from oil to renewables and the reason is renewables have gotten a lot cheaper partly due to government subsidies. My question is will there be at some point resistence to renewables when electricity rates increase by 50 to 70% as they did in Ontario, Germany, California in spite of the subsidies, as well as the higher incidence of brownouts or blackouts as have occurred in Australia and California. From what I have read some of these countries have started going back to coal because of these issues. Also will the issue of recycling thousands of solar panels which have a limited shelf life and which have heavy metals and toxic materials in them have any effect on future use?

Q: All of these stocks seem to be favourites and pay good dividends. Am having a hard time differentiating between them as regards to those involved in renewable energy ( I think NPI, BEP and Aqn ) and those involved in transmission only of electricity and natural gas (I think FTS, and EMA). Could you please comment on the differences, if there is any and how you would rank them.

Thanks

Q: most if not all of these companies are down 20-30% and consequently many pay very high dividends; have they been unfairley thrown into the same bin as oil & gas companies by investors? Could this be a buying opportunity of undervalued solid companies.
