Q: I've held a full position in HAL for just over 3yrs all dividends reinvested, gain of 12%. My original plan was to hold for the longer term, DCA reinvesting any dividends. The annual portfolio turnover 78% is twice the category average for the group as per Morningstar. I'm not sure how you make better returns with that amount of trading.
Can you share your thoughts on portfolio turnover
Offer other options on this type of ETF
Regards,
Tom

Q: Currently own Enbridge in the energy infrastructure space and am not unhappy with it. But considering switch to Cheniere . How would you think about such a switch ? Primarily a trade - off between income and growth ?
Other considerations ?
And more specifically , while accepting that all utility type companies operate with high debt levels , how would debt levels compare between these two companies .
Thank- you.

Q: I am considering replacing ENB with NXF.B in my RRSP account. Two questions: (1) what do you think of this change considering the likelihood of increased taxation for O&G producers - i.e. "fair share tax"? (2) Are there tax implications when holding NXF.B in RRSP i.e. will I receive the stated 10% dividend or there will be some reductions due to the fact that this is CDN ETF holding non-CDN stocks?

Q: Why are renewable energy stocks like the three names above performed so poorly in the last year or two? Isn't all governments are promoting renewable energies and these stocks should flourish and not sink?

Q: I am trying to understand the tax ramifications of return of capital. In a simple case where a fund had increased in market value by 10% and has a yeild of 10% all of which is return of capital, there would be no taxes payable. However, if I sold the fund, there would be a total of 10% payable as capital gains. As a result I have always assumed that return of capital is the best yield as long as the market price of the fund has not gone down. Am I looking at this too simplistically?
