Investment Q&A

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

Q: I purchased BEP.UN on July 30, 2020. On that day, the CFRA report available through my bank's investorline site had it down as a 'hold'. Then, the next day (July 31st ), CFRA had it down as a 'buy' and then on Aug 2nd as a 'sell'. I usually sell when CFRA advises to sell. My questions are:
1) How can CFRA ratings change this quickly?
2) How reliable are CFRAs ratings?
3) Should I sell?
Thanks for your help

Q: FENY, XLE, IYE I am looking to add to my small investment in energy stocks. I have zeroed in on these 3 candidates. Using the RBC Direct Investing site, there appears to be little difference between these stocks looking a both short term and long term out to 10 years. MER’ s are also comparable.
But FENY has almost a 12% yield while the other 2 are around 6%. Given the otherwise very similar performance metrics is there any reason NOT to buy FENY. And for a decking dividend and significant upside potential is there another energy etf that I should consider? Thanks for your help with this decision,

Q: I have had these 3 utilities companies in my portfolio for some time .Their share value resilience and ongoing share price increases have been very beneficial for my portfolio. I am reluctant to trim them for adjustment of the portfolio utilities sector. These are also mostly " green energy " producers which have been in demand.In your view in what order would you trim these companies for portfolio sector adjustment ? Thanks for your opinion.

Q: Hi Guys
In regard to IPL's new Heartland Petrochemical Complex I understand at a approximately $4.0 billion cost it is a fairly big bet on the future and some of these things have cost overruns but this one, this far, seems to be on budget and will provide a new stream of income for IPL going forward, yet everyone seems to be negative on this project and the stock. And it seems given the cost of gas locally it should be successful at producing polypropylene at a profit. Could I get your thoughts on the project and stock in terms how risky it is going forward and if you think when the project is finished this could create a bit more interest with investors? Do you know whether they have contracts in place yet for the finished polypropylene? And finally do you think they have a solid Management team in place at IPL?

Thanks

Stuart
