Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i team
I would like to thank you for all your sound advice since inception. I would need to trim up to 5 stocks from this portfolio. If you were in that position, which ones would you cut starting with first to cut up to fifth. These stocks are in a rrsp with equal percentages. Thanks. Gilles

Q: I am a senior and this may be a senior moment. Is the adverse weather patterns that are increasing around the world putting strain on the wind, solar renewable power being viable ie the Texas storm. The above stocks seem to be retreating somewhat. . Your thoughts. One add on do i hold lspd at the 85.00 level? Thanks

Q: Could I have your views on the latest quarter's earnings. Tnx

Q: Peter; It seems to me that there is a general selling of the renewable area, AQN,CPX,BLX etc, . Just profit taking after the huge run up or a back to the past oil switch to the energy sector? Thanks,
Rod

Q: looking to buy this bundle...can you rank from must have to lest favourite..many thanks...

Q: Do you have a preference between these stocks for a long term investment? Would you recommend purchasing an etf instead of a few stocks for exposure to the renewable energy sector?

Q: I am holding AQN, BEPC, and BLX in utilities and am considering selling AQN to purchase NPI. I’m retired and looking for safe growth with some income. Does this trade seem reasonable for a longer term?

Q: For a long term investment, do you have a preference for Algonquin or Boralex? Do you have other favourites in the renewable energy space?

Q: Hi 5i-ers -
What would your 5 best prospects be for green energy companies and green mfg as well.
Thx & Stay safe - Doug

Q: hi,
what is your tough for those company, position 1-3% in my portfolio.
thanks jean guy

Q: Given their recent runs, do you have a preference between BLX and NPI?

Q: These two stocks in my portfolio have very high P/E ratios. Could you comment why and it’s implications? They impact greatly on the average P/E ratio of my equity portfolio.

Q: I know that you rate AQN highly, but why has this stock underperformed the others by like night and day in the last year. What is it that has held this stock back?. This has been a hot market for these stocks here in Canada and the USA.
Seasons Greetings

Q: Doing a year end review of all of my holdings. I would like to reduce my position in several stocks (or eliminate entirely in the case of HR.UN and CPH) in order to raise some cash for increasing my position in several other holdings. Fairly large question, so I will divide it into 2, this for the potential reductions and a further question about the potential adds. Would you please rank these stocks in the order you would reduce or eliminate to raise some cash, starting with the one you would be most inclined to reduce/eliminate. Sector, or large cap/small cap not a concern, as I have a broadly diversified portfolio with a lot (too many, really) of names. Thank you for this, and also for the very good service. My 1st year as a client, and I will certainly be renewing. I have recommended the site to a few friends who also do investing.

Q: Hi,
In a recent question from Jacques about renewable energy, you respond:
We would suggest; BEP.UN, AQN, BLX, NPI
Where does FTS fit in this list?
I own BEP.UN and FTS and considering selling FTS and replace with any of the other 3. Would you agree with such a move? What would be your ranking of these 5 companies in order?
Thanks

Q: Hi,

I have no utilities exposure at the moment. Looking or a Company with a nice yield that has part of their business in renewables since this is a trend going forward. I will also hold this name outside of my RRSP and TFSA for dividend distribution is ideal rather than other forms of return on investment. I am thinking of a 4% position given record low interest rates and the fact they MAY rise sometime in 2022 or beyond. My questions are: 1- Do you think 4% is a good weighting for the utility sector given current environment? 2- Which is your preferred name among these 3? I am leaning towards AQN for dividend level and the fact that it is paid as a dividend as well as the fact that some of the business is in renewables and they have a nice growth profile.

Thank you so much,
Jason

Q: Hi,

Im surprised NPI and BLX are doing so poorly after the Biden win? Can you comment and advise buy more, sell or hold? I had some substantial gains that ae disappearing.

Q: I am looking at the above companies highlighted in your recent comments. Could you please rank them in terms of a) highest growth to lowest over 5 year time frame b) least to most risk. If am missing another favourite please let me know. Thanks for all your great advice. Brian

Q: I currently hold a 5% position in renewable energy stocks. Made up of BEP.UN + AQN + XBC. Please recommend one additional stock is this area. Thanks

Q: Following the presidential debate it sounds like Biden has a fairly aggressive stance towards a switch to clean energy. Also, he seems intent on renewing spending on infrastructure. I already hold Algonquin and ICLN in the so called clean energy sector. Any others i should look at there? And what might profit from infrastructure spending, should Biden win.
Thanks
