Q: how do you expect BIP to perform, now that we have more clarity (maybe) on tariffs ?
Both div at this level and share price not drifting any lower

I want to build a position in it as a "retirement" stock.
I have BIP.UN and BEP.UN at 3% each.

What are your fav options in this category currently?

Regards,
JR

Q: Could you please explain the inter-relationship between these two stocks? I realize one is incorporated etc but I am interested in their holdings, especially because 1. BEPC is outperforming and 2. There are large US contracts that are shaping their business. It was my understanding that each had their own different contracts but they were essentially the same company at a high level. Are they impacted differently by their contracts with Google and Microsoft or will they both benefit equally? Are their operational strategies any different?
Thanks.

Q: Hello,
Any idea why Lumine Group and Topicus are surging? Lately Arc resources has been going down and is it simply due to the price of natural gas? Also, i was thinking i am down alot on brookfield energy partners from the time i bought it, should i stick to it for long term or take a loss and move the monies into the parent company? Thanks very much

Q: Good afternoon - I have several Brookfield positions. My BN and BAM positions have more than doubled. My BEPC and BIPC positions have done well but nowhere close to a double. I do get higher dividends in BEPC and BIPC but BAM pays almost 3% at current prices. I'm thinking of selling BEPC and BIPC and putting the proceeds into BAM. The tax consequences are manageable. Your thoughts, please.

Q: How significant is for BEP the recent contract it signed with Alphabet? The Market seams to like it with a +7% increase in the stock price but is it warranted?

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,

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: I can't keep all these Brookfield companies straight. If you want some growth with a dividend, for a long term hold, which would you prefer and why?

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: What explains the big increase (around 7-8%) of the value of these stocks today? What do you expect for the future and what is best to do (buy, sell or hold)?

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'm a well diversified investor holding 70% income and 30% growth stocks, I want to add one or all of these companies for income and for potential growth.

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?
