Q: BEP hit an air pocket today may 22nd with a drop of 4.5% at the time of writing. The only thing I found that could explain it is Trump's "Big and beautiful" tax bill that, it seams, cancels the clean energy incentives. Do you think the drop is warranted or is it mostly a Mr. Market knee-jerk reaction? -- It seams to me BEP's international diversification should have cushioned the incentives cancelation.

Q: I understand that the U.S. house reconciliation bill includes some negative wording re clean energy tax credits and this is a possible reason for BEP to be down in today's trading.
I'd appreciate your evaluation of this - is it a major risk for BEP?

Q: We have experienced a nice rally in spite of the traditional chaos associated with equity investing. I am thinking I would like to take some risk off but need to balance the portfolio income generated vs rrif drawdownn. Thinking I should reduce the Cdn Market ETF ( lowest income generator) and retain high yielding defensive generators. I know increasing cash level generates lower income still. What are your thoughts moving towards more preservation with this strategy.

Q: What are your thoughts on the Simplify Opportunistic Income ETF (Symbol CRDT). as per their site this ETF "seeks to provide current income, with long-term capital appreciation as a secondary objective". I like the healthy 7% dividend as well as the "limits" in share price between ~ $24.50 and $26.00 over the last couple of years. Do you know if any of the returns are ROC ? Overall thoughts on this for a safe/healthy dividend (I am focused on income not capital appreciation).
