Q: Hi,

BEPC has been steadily rising this year, even in the face of the US administration's policy switch that is largely unfavourabhle to renewables. Any thoughts on what's driving the uptick?

Thanks,
Robert

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

Q: Hi there,

I’ve noticed that some of the Renewable stocks have been firming up and/or improving lately.

Do you see any hope for growth in the near term horizon or should one invest in these mostly for income?

Thank you!

Q: Hello 5i,

We are looking at our fixed income and dividend portion of our portfolio. Dividend stocks are 6% of our overall portfolio.

Bam 3.19%
AW 2.59%
BEPC 5.41%
DIR 6.69%
NTR 3.95%

We want to add another 2% to dividend stocks. Add equally to the above or, add ZEB or CDZ?

Thank you

Q: I am considering selling off my shares of BEPC and using proceeds to buy BN. I know BEPC has a larger dividend - will BN's growth be able to overcome the loss in dividends?

Q: Can I have your thoughts on th quarterly results reported this morning? I found the news release quite encouraging, despite a languishing stock price. The results seemed pretty good to me, they are buying back shares, they report terrific demand for their product, and they say the tarif chaos gives them more and better opportunities to expand. So why is the stock price languishing??? or am I missing something

Q: I read somewhere that the recent weakness of BEP.UN/BEPC is due in most part to tariffs on China imports of solar panels and wind turbine components, rendering many projects in the pipeline to become uneconomical and thus,materially reducing expected future growth. What do you think of this thesis? -- Or in your opinion, is the weakness in price are mainly caused by general market conditions and bad sentiments?

Q: This is not a question, just a comment so I'm not sure what other forum there is for me to do that

I see that you recommend BEP and BIP for income investors . I think you should highlight that because these are partnerships, the income is a combination of dividends , interest and foreign income . So a form t5013 will have to be filed and not all the income from the partnership is taxed with the favourable dividend tax treatment . Luckily, neither of these has $US business , therefor are not subject to the 10% withholding
cheers

Q: Hi Peter
1. Dividendhistory.org shows about 1% lower yield for bepc vs bep.un. is it correct.
2. It also shows that for bep.un, the dividend was reduced several times. Is this correct or were shareholders allocated shares in a split off?
3. Is bep.un / bepc a low / average price now?
Would you chip away or but a full position now?
Many thanks.
