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: Good Morning,
I'm finally back at a break even point with both BNS & TD from where I bought them some time ago.
Are they worth holding, or are there other growthery choices that you would recommend. (I already have BN & BAM, so please exclude them from any suggested additions)
Thank you

Q: What is the outlook for Canadian real estate?
How long do you expect it to stay down, how will tariff impact it ?

Can the new liberal government do something to bring down the prices, if so , will it affect the price for the new homes or the entire market?

Please share your thoughts on this ?

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).
