Q: Hello Peter,
These two stocks are the dogs in my portfolio and am not sure they will recover in a few years to get my money back. I was thinking of adding to BN, but was wondering if gold would be a better choice. I am just worried as gold is quite high and it could do the same as two i own when the whole world was talking about green energy. Gold could do a reversal .Instead of adding to BN, what would you recommend for gold exposure.. any thoughts please? Also, any comments on why Lumine group continues to slide? Appreciate it

Q: Some analysis of Algonquin’s most recent earnings please.

Q: Hi there,

Please comment on recent outlook comments from the company.

Do you think it could be an ADD at this point for those of us who are underwater and holding over the past few years in a diversified account?

Ok thank you

Q: Looking for a generous dividend with some growth and reasonable volatility for a long term hold. Which would you suggest? Are there tax issues with a royalty company like FRU?

Q: Aqn had a significant bounce last week on what seems like a preview to their official earnings release in early June. Can you expand?

Q: I have sold half my position in AQN at a loss awhile ago and now am considering selling the other half and moving on. Wondering if I should wait until after earnings or just sell now. Do you know what is expected this May 9th earnings? What would be the stock to recoup losses of 50% -it can be any area, doesn't have to be utilities. Thanks.

Q: I’m finally back in black on Algonquin Power. Invested in it for the USD dividend that still qualified for the dividend tax credit. Would you hold or get out? thx

Q: Your analysis of aqn’s results beyond just the numbers would be appreciated. Is the transition to a pure play working to stabilize operations and balance sheet?

Q: Hello
I have 3 x 5i recommendations I should probably move on from AQN (- 68%),
EGLX (- 98%) and ILLM (-81%).

With the remaining combined funds I would need a 350% to recoup the loss back to even - assuming a 5yr min hold what would be 5is thoughts be for sector and position choice to reallocate ? I d prefer these be positions your moderators in fact own.

Q: Hello. I have a small position in AQN that gets smaller all the time. It’s down 63% and it represents 0.5% of the portfolio. Do I sell and quit looking at it or should I buy more? Thanks

Q: HI, I own several CDN Utilities, AQN, SOBO, PPL, BEPC, BIPC, EMA, ENB, FTS, TRP. Trying to reduce # of CDN Utilities I own. I am thinking of selling AQN, SOBO, BEPC, and BIPC. What is your opinion of selling these and adding PPL, and EMA. What is your opinion on CDN Utility ETF instead. Can you suggest CDN Util ETF for a reasonable return and potential for growth. Welcome if you have any other suggestion. Thanks

Q: The company recently sold a few large assets, a recent deal of their non regulated renewable assets and their 42.2% stake in Atlantica. I can’t see $ figures anywhere but with market cap of $2.55 B USD, I’d hope they got a raised a substantial amount.

How does this affect your view on AQN going forward? What is their current debt? I’m holding at a slight loss in a non registered account and ok holding and collecting yield if there is upside.

Q: I own three major Canadian Telecom stocks, BCE, Telus and Rogers. They all have done poorly in the Y 2024. I have all three for some time, they all are negative with BCE and Rogers losing more than Telus. BCE and Telus are paying good dividend. I also own AQN which is losing money and paying decent dividend. Should I take loss on these and move? I do not have need for cash. What are their chances of turn around? How safe is dividend for all three? If I decide to take a loss, which ones to keep?
I also own BEPC and BIPC, if I want to keep only one of them which one has better potential? If I decide to sell both of them, what would you suggest to replace them with? I do own other utilities: EMA, ENB, FTS, TRP and PPL.
