Q: I am a holder of MRU and currently trying to decide if I should either trim or sell and deploy capital somewhere else. the P/E seems high, relative to pears, and it has had a good run recently. My holdings represent 4.0% of the portfolio, but would love to get a little juicier yield. Is it still and good holding in a recession situation? Your perspective would be appreciated.

Q: I am aretired dividend investor and tend to keep stocks. My full position in AQN is nearing a half position (its in a RRIF so no tax loss selling). The 9.4% dividend for a Utility is extremely attractive. I am thinking of buying some more. I have read the questions and I realize a dividend cut could happen but since they will not report again until March 1, is a cut, if there is one, before then unlikely?

Q: For price appreciation in the next 12-24 months, would you prefer a long-term ETF like XLB/TLT or an ETF with shorter duration like XBB/ZAG. Or a bit of both?
Thanks.

Q: I am a 60+ retired income investor,

I consider the above noted equities to be my riskiest holdings.

About 1,000 each - mostly in my cash account.

I understand SYZ reduced its dividend today and of course the issues with AQN.

Still up on AQN. Underwater on all the rest.

Looking for some advice - sell or hold by holding?

And of course any general comments would be appreciated.

Thanks very much.

Q: I plan on journalling these stocks to my US account because the dividends are paid in $US. However, I am confused as to the appropriate listing name for BEP.UN on the NYSE as it appears to be the same as the one for BEPC, namely BEP. Is that correct?

Secondly, can you switch BEP.CA to BEP.UN:CA (or vice versa) in a non-registered account without the transaction being considered a disposition for tax purposes?

Appreciate your insight.

Do you see the stock price and dividend eventually recovering with the overall market, or is this long term troubles specific to the company? Do you see the company recovering post Ukraine war? Is this a stock you would definitely be selling? Thanks.

Can you suggest any Canadian companies or an ETF that may benefit from this.
