Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: The other day i asked about selling emera. There were a few details that i neglected to mention. I am thinking of investing the money in clean energy utility. Because they are currently down i thought it a good idea. Looking at utilitirs, though, is it reasonable to have too big a concentration? I already ow icln and algonquin. But, if the answer is yes on that score, which one? i already own a full position in Bam.a. Does this mitigate against Brookfields energy arm and then most reasonably leave boralex?
Thanks

Q: Not an investing question, but can you help me understand, at least a big-picture view, some of the financial impacts behind last months Texas weather?
AQN has already indicated a $45M hit as a result (and this is presumably mostly or entirely built in to recent share prices). JE apparently (?) owes $250 as a result, which they can't pay and hence are seeking creditor protection. Brazos Electric Power Co-op (of Texas) supposedly owes a whopping $1.8 billion for the same event.
To whom is that money paid (in AQN's case) or owed (in JE's & Brazos case) -- ERCOT? But ERCOT is a member/supplier-owned non-profit, and AQN, JE, Brazos et al are the members, so isn't the money just circulating among the members?
Meanwhile, the end users -- individuals and business using the power -- are paying huge electric bills. We have friends in Dallas who got 5-figure electric bills for their home!
Where does the "buck stop" in this merry-go-round?
Are you in a position to shed any light on this?

Q: good day 5i
Thinking about selling emera, which I will have high capital gains on and buying a renewable energy stock. I already own a full compliment of icln and wondering whether I should buy another renewable? If so, which one? I am selling emera because I suspect the government may impose higher capital gains taxes soon. And also because I think there will be more growth, with of course stability, with renewables. I thought I would pass this idea through your radar to see whether you see it as a worthy idea
Thanks
