Q: Hello 5i,

Trumponomics is laying waste to "green" energy. Can you list 5 stocks in Canada and 5 stocks in the USA that would be most affected? Is it worth hanging onto a small position of BEPC after the news? We have a small loss at this time.

Thank you
D&J

Q: Hello 5i
I noticed one of your answers about Trump tariffs in which you cite Aritzia as an example of how difficult it is to predict which consequences certain actions will have on stocks. Fortunately, I did not sell that company. But, I did sell icln a few months ago, fearful of Trump’s disdain for renewable energy. But, icln has not moved much lower in those several months. In fact, it has risen a little. I wonder if you have any speculations on why that is? I am thinking about getting back in. How would you see that possibility?
Thanks

Q: Presuming that the price of steel goes up with tariffs, outside of the steel industry itself, what sectors and specific companies lose out here? Thank-you.

Q: Do you think post-election sentiment on solar is overly negative? At what point might solar investments start to look appealing again? Would you consider Enphase as a preferred investment option in this scenario? If not, could you recommend a solar stock with strong potential should sentiment improve.

Q: Lots of volatility based on the election results. This may be too early to ask, but are there any stocks that have risen (or fallen) too much on fundamentals as a result of the election? Looking for potential sell (or buy) opportunities if you think appropriate.

Q: As we close in on the US election what would be your short term (up to 1 year) picks be in the US market? For a republican victory energy sector might be interesting or possibly crypto. If crypto how would you play it?
On the other hand if Democrats win what would you choose?
As a long term member, can't thank you enough for what you do.

Q: Hello Peter,
Is there a reason by First Solar is declining daily? Given investor activism and potential of Qualcomm showing interest, is Intel a good bet right now? Thanks very much

Q: Hi 5i Team - In your answer to a previous question you mentioned First Solar and Next Tracker as two of your preferred companies in the solar energy field. Are there any others in Canada or the U.S. including small and mid-caps that you think have potential. They don't have to be profitable at this point but should have decent fundamentals. Thanks.

Q: A couple of unrelated laggards...

Is ESTC a show me stock or would you be comfortable with a starter position as of today?

I own NXT but looking to add another position. Do you like SHLS? It is cheap if this solar move has legs. FSLR has moved far and fast. Would you buy into this or pick an alternative at this point?

thx, Mark

Q: If Trump wins this election i am considering moving most of my investments into the US market. I think that Canada amongst others will suffer thru his direction (dictatorship) and US stocks will do well. Would you have any stock recommendations should this election play out this way. Thx, James
