Q: Retired dividend-income investor. With the dust trying to settle on the USA election, where do you see the Canadian Energy sector sitting over the next year or two? I understand Renewables are taking off (I own AQN, FTS), but Renewables are very expensive right now and it is going to be a long way off before the oil industry is going to be extinct. My own feeling is we have at least a 20 year runway in front of us.

Having said that, TRP's Keystone XL is potentially in Biden's crosshairs. The research I have done is a) if KXL is constructed, then good for TRP, as it is apparently not priced in to its stock price; b) if KXL is flushed, then also good for TRP as the uncertainty is removed and TRP has plenty of other growth projects in the process of being approved/constructed; c) also if KXL is flushed, TRP would have so much free cash flow, that it would be a "cash cow".

The reason for my question is I have a almost full position in TRP and I view TRP as very cheap right now and was going to top it up. Your thoughts please?

Thanks...Steve

Q: Hi 5i
BEPC and BEP.UN together represent 8% of my portfolio currently (BEPC=5.6%, BEP.UN=2.4%). Both are doing well and it appears they will continue to provide nice gains over time. I am wondering about trimming BEPC. What would you consider to be a reasonable % holding for BEPC and BEP.UN together? Thanks!

Q: In your analysis of the renewable energy sector, you say there is shift away from oil to renewables and the reason is renewables have gotten a lot cheaper partly due to government subsidies. My question is will there be at some point resistence to renewables when electricity rates increase by 50 to 70% as they did in Ontario, Germany, California in spite of the subsidies, as well as the higher incidence of brownouts or blackouts as have occurred in Australia and California. From what I have read some of these countries have started going back to coal because of these issues. Also will the issue of recycling thousands of solar panels which have a limited shelf life and which have heavy metals and toxic materials in them have any effect on future use?

Q: Hi Peter/Ryan, you mentioned in the last update that renewable energy companies are to be considered for investment, can you suggest some companies that manufacture and develop equipment for renewables that are worth investing in. Thanks
