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?
