Q: Hi 5i Team
What would be the tax implication of holding these two etf on non-register account? Are they both subject to the 15% witholding tax and if they are is it better to keep it in a USD account to avoid currency risk and better liquidity?

Q: Capital Power has performed extremely well this year, for a utility stock especially. I am wondering how much more room it might have to run. I also hold AQN at a loss large enough to eliminate my gain on selling CPX, so tax considerations are not an issue. I am pondering the wisdom of selling both AQN and CPX and replacing with another utility such as BEP.UN. I am looking at capturing a yield >5%. Any other suggestions would be welcome.

Q: So much news these days about the ramp up to electric vehicles and the eventual elimination of internal combustion engines.

Governments have committed to installing charging stations to accommodate future demand.

What is the current status of power generating facilities. How easily can they ramp up supply to satisfy the future demand or is there already enough capacity.

What are your favourite Canadian and US power generators to satisfy this demand. Thank you

Q: Clean Harbors was recently put forward on BNN as a business that quietly makes money working with bigger, better known businesses. The chart looks good over many years. But seems to have a lot of debt. What do you think of this business for new money? Too expensive?

Thanks for all your help,

Mike

Sector not too relevant although, like most Cdn, investors, I am overweight financlals and resources. Keeping the funds in U.S., a mix of capital appreciation and reinvested dividends would be nice. Thanks for all the 5i Team do and a shout out to all the members whose thoughtful questions have helped me in recent years.
