Q: I have an equal position in aqn and rmw. Would you advise selling some rnw and investing it into aqn? What is your outlook for each of these companies for a 2 to 3 year hold? Is the debt a concern for either of these companies? Thanx for your excellent service.

Read Answer Asked by Bruce on March 07, 2017
Q: Hi Team

Certain companies such as BEP, AQN pay dividends in 'US" dollars. What is the significance to me?

Is there a foreign holding tax on the dividend ? (like for an american equity)


does my taxation change, is there an advantage to holding it an RRSP versus non registered account.

I am with BMO investorline and I think they pay it out converted back to canadian dollars, is that the financial industry way or is it possible to keep it in us dollars ?

thank you

Ernie

Q: I have been a holder of AQN for a fair while and have been very satisfied and even have added to the position on dips. I notice that the "short" position of this stock was increased by 51% as at Jan31/17. I don't usually become concerned by changes in short positons however this increase is considerable. Should I view this as a concern by the so-called better informed?

Q: I am looking to add renewable energy companies to both my US and Canadian portfolios. Buy and hold for 5-10-20 years. Can you make some reccomendations?
Read Answer Asked by Thomas on February 02, 2017
Q: When analyzing Canadian stocks with considerable exposure to the US, how much of the stock appreciation in the last 5 years would be attributable to the declining Canadian dollar, and more importantly, would a rising Canadian dollar have the reverse effect? Would the effect be different for a utility like AQN with large capital investment, as opposed to a services company like TD? Would management participate in hedging strategies to limit any negative effect on stock price?

Q: Algonquing Power (AQN) is considered a renewable energy company, but it has sizable natural gas operations through its Liberty Utilities division. Natural gas is obviously not a renewable resource. How does AQN get grouped into the renewable energy sector? Is this justified?
Speaking of which, what is your favourite company in the renewable energy space? BEP.un or another one? Thanks in advance.
