Q: Good Morning

I had the misfortune of buying engh at its near high of 65$ in 2020
It is now trading around 30$ and has been for some time
Is their any chance it may reach its previous high within a reasonable time or should a person move on and put the money someplace else to work?

Thks

Given decent results from constellation and Descartes Systems, any reason why the stocks have been declining.. Do you think it is simply profit taking and both are good long term investments? Much appreciated.

Q: It seems Tesla (TSLA) is no longer a favorite pick in 5i Research. Its CEO, Elon Musk, is working on many interesting projects. If revolutionary projects, such as the humanoid robot, are successful, they could bring billions to the company. I don’t own TSLA. What do you think about TSLA this year, next year, or in the future? Please comment. Thanks in advance.

Q: Acknowledging that 5i may not agree with my opinion here, if one were to believe that Solar-Wind Battery Storage systems will eventually be cheaper than Gas / Coal / Nuclear, etc. power, would BEP.UN be the best investment choice?

With regards to the above, are there any other Canadian options - even an ETF - for holding within a non-registered account. I'd want to avoid that T1135 form !

Q: In 2024, I put some money in BMO HISA accounts (ex: BMT109- not sure how to call them). The distributions are reinvested, not paid. Do you know if BMO will declare the interest paid at the end of the year, or will I have to declare them only when I sell some of it? Good day.

I read that Enbridge cut its pipeline tolls by more than 10% in late August due to competition from the TMX pipeline. Will a cut of this size have a significant impact on ENB earnings? Which do you consider a better investment at this time: ENB or TRP? Thanks as always for your advice.
