Q: BEPC/BEP.UN seems to be one of your darlings in utility/renewables sector and you have been highly recommending it for a combination of growth and income. However, it's one of the worst performing stocks in my portfolio in the past two months and I'm wondering what's wrong with it (or what's changed)? The stock is down 20% while others either just declined slightly (e.g. EQN) or even had gains (e.g. FTS). It looks like, during recent selloff, the BEPC stock is behaving more like a technology stock rather than a utility. Do you have any explanation for such a big drop? Are you still considering this company one of the best utility/renewables investments? Thanks.

Q: During the recent short run up these were up a lot: UPST was up 75%, CELH was up 22%, AFRM was up 70%, ARKW up 15%. They have not fallen back as much as others with this big drop in NASDAQ May 18. Should I be adding to them? They seem to outpace most of the other ones. Reading Seeking Alpha, GOOGLE's account in Russia was frozen and indicated they were going bankrupt in Russia and moving out of there. Doing a lot of research, I come across Jeff Brown (Micro chip expert) you probably are aware of him - and he said a Dutch company (I have heard of it before ASML - price is about $630) said this would be the number 1 chip stock for the next many years. More than one answer would be helpful for the above questions. I realize it may cost an extra credit or 2 for this. Thank you,

Q: Hi, I liked the reference to the CNN Fear&Greed Index in one of your Updates (Nov21). Would you have some comments on it with the awful market behavior since then. Do technical analysts or investors rely on these Indexes for decision making (F&G, VIX, Baltic Index or others) ? Thank you.

Q: One of my so called steady Eddie's COST is plummeting along with Walmart but I feel this could be a good buying op. At what point would I buy.? People love Costco and I just can't see it staying down for long but please correct my naivety.
Thanks for all you do. You all are truly appreciated. It must be difficult to know your "flock" is hurting from all the ups and downs during these times.

Q: Hi 5i,
I would like an update on which horse you might bet on between these three.
Please rank #1 as the horse that is likely to be the marathon race winner. Can you please also give a higher preference to the horse that has the best balance sheet and stability in this challenging economic environment. High level reasons would also be greatly appreciated so I can understand your thought process. thanks
