Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I purchased BEP.UN on July 30, 2020. On that day, the CFRA report available through my bank's investorline site had it down as a 'hold'. Then, the next day (July 31st ), CFRA had it down as a 'buy' and then on Aug 2nd as a 'sell'. I usually sell when CFRA advises to sell. My questions are:
1) How can CFRA ratings change this quickly?
2) How reliable are CFRAs ratings?
3) Should I sell?
Thanks for your help

Q: FENY, XLE, IYE I am looking to add to my small investment in energy stocks. I have zeroed in on these 3 candidates. Using the RBC Direct Investing site, there appears to be little difference between these stocks looking a both short term and long term out to 10 years. MER’ s are also comparable.
But FENY has almost a 12% yield while the other 2 are around 6%. Given the otherwise very similar performance metrics is there any reason NOT to buy FENY. And for a decking dividend and significant upside potential is there another energy etf that I should consider? Thanks for your help with this decision,

Q: I have had these 3 utilities companies in my portfolio for some time .Their share value resilience and ongoing share price increases have been very beneficial for my portfolio. I am reluctant to trim them for adjustment of the portfolio utilities sector. These are also mostly " green energy " producers which have been in demand.In your view in what order would you trim these companies for portfolio sector adjustment ? Thanks for your opinion.
