Q: I am holding BEPC and BIPC in my non-registered account and BEP.UN and BIP.UN in my RRSP. A friend told me that there may be tax implications when holding LPs in and RRSP - is this true?
Thanks for your comments!

Q: Hi,
Can you help me to understand why the premium of BIPC is so high over BIP.UN? It increased to more than 40% today, $94 vs $66. On the other hand, the spread between BEPC vs BEP.UN is much narrower, up and down around 10%. Do you expect the the gap between BEPC and BEP.UN to widen? Thanks,
Martin

Q: What's the reason behind the current slip of BEP.UN/BEPC and BIP.UN/BIPC? These two combos should be steady industrial stocks and not subject to the stumble currently affecting the tech stocks? I know both had been up nicely over the past year but that's no reason to reverse so sharply of late. Any insight you can share? Thanks.

Q: In your answer to Steve on BEPC vs BIP.UN differential: can you explain why these two should be thought as linked together? I get that BEPC and BEP.UN are linked as they represent the same company.
Would you agree that the growth for BEPC/BEP.UN will be muted this year (servicing debt is going to go up) and financials (US banks) would see better growth potential? Would the growth issue apply to AQN as well (for the same reason)?

Q: The differential between BEP.UN and BEPC is down to a reasonable 7.8%. But between BIP.UN and BIPC the differential is very high 23.7%.
Can you explain the reason for this discrepancy. I believe this would be an ideal time to sell BIPC and use the proceeds to buy BIP.UN. Do you agree.
Thanks for your great service.

Q: The drop in price in the last couple weeks for these two stocs has been considerable. Is there something more than the Texas problem involved here? Is its present price attractive for the next few years? I sorryfully missed your praise for Magna a couple months ago by bidding somwhat lower when it was $68.

Q: Thanks for your response to my previous query regarding validations for BEPC. I am aware of how the stock has done and management quality. What I was hoping for were some metrics , growth rates, revenue, earnings , etc that you see going forward that would provide some basis for evaluation of the shares. Also some comparison with other companies in the same sector based on similar parameters would be helpful. Would appreciate your comments and input please to the extent you feel is reasonable.Thanks

Q: BEPC has been steadily declining in recent weeks. At what point will the shares represent good value to purchase , in my case, additional shares? And at what price would the shares represent excellent value for purchase. Please provide rationale for your position. If you have any thoughts about how much further the shares might fall, that would be helpful.Thanks.

Q: I am planning to buy BEP on this dip. BEPC has dropped from a high of 80 to 64. BEP,UN has only dropped from 63 to 59. In the last few days, BEPC has dropped by 5% each day while BEP.UN only dropped by 2%
Can you explain the difference?
Which one should I buy given the difference in price drop?
I can buy in either my RRSP or my corp, doesn't matter. I guess if you tell me BEPC, I'd put in my corp, and if you say BEP.UN, I'd put in RRSP, would that be correct?
Thanks.

Q: I am holding AQN, BEPC, and BLX in utilities and am considering selling AQN to purchase NPI. I’m retired and looking for safe growth with some income. Does this trade seem reasonable for a longer term?

Q: I read in today's paper BEPC is doing a share issue which I think explains yesterday's +5% drop. According to the paper the money is not going to BEPC. Who is getting the money...are BAM.A or BEP.US going to see the benefit of the share issue? Would you agree that shareholders are experiencing dilution? (More shares issued but the cash not getting invested in the business).
Thanks,
Jim

Q: Hi,
I have two questions on my TFSA:
1) Bought ENB at around @49 back in 2018, going no where since then (other than dividends). Is it good time to trade for BEP? (ENB is currently my only stock on the fossil fuel/energy space).
2) If I buy BEP for TFSA, which one makes most sense, BEP as PEPC? US vs. Canada-listed?
Thank you for your guidance as always.
