Q: Hello, I have bought these during Covid and now >70% down. They are in TFSA and RESP so I can’t claim the tax loss. I don’t need the money for next 5 years in RESP, and can hold for long time in TFSA, would you suggest holding them or take a loss and use the rest of the funds somewhere else (VRT or GOOGL)? Thank for your service.
Regards
Rahul

Q: I struggle with the whole concept of "green".
The whole thing is driven by politics, not market forces.(making "dirty" fuels artificially expensive so that subsidized "green" energy can compete).
Here is my question: Yes, there are strong ideologies pushing this, but unless "we" adopt socialist command economy wholesale, market forces must eventually prevail?
"Green stocks/ ETFs are up, but buying them seems to me betting on a lame horse.
Would appreciate your take on this, and also if holding BAM.A could be considered a compromise. They seem to be gung- ho for "green" investments. Am also looking at PBW, but don't like the price.
My interest in this subject is limited yo next ~5 years.
Thank you

Q: These etf's have been producing real good returns. Is this replacing the old oil that is feeling that the best is over and now we are going into a new energy field for the future, faster than we thought. These seem like a good way to get a large exposure to new and fast growing company's. Good Day.
