Investment Q&A

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

Q: I intend crystallizing a loss on CNQ and was trying to decide on buying a company in roughly the same business so that I stay in the market segment. SU might be the obvious choice but have some already. Can you suggest some alternatives from the those noted or others, preferably with a divided.
Btw I find the dividend updates very useful.
Thanks

Q: Good morning 5i team;
About 1/3 of my portfolio is invested in the pipelines and mid-stream companies. It appears that the future will be focused on ESG, climate change and reduced consumption of fossil fuels. With these trends in mind, in your opinion, how will my current portfolio of pipeline and mid-stream stocks survive the transition to a low carbon future?

Q: I'm wondering why there is so much investment interest in renewable power. As far as I know these companies are highly subsidized by governments and they pay no taxes. What is going to happen when renewable energy companies have to face the same rules as do non-renewable energy compaines?

Q: I have just sold ENB to realize a capital loss and replaced it with 50% TRP and 50% PPL.
When the 30 day period has elapsed and considering capital preservation and yield over 3+ years; would you reverse the trade and buy back ENB or just continue to hold TRP and PPL.

Many thanks.
Barry

Q: Peter,

I own Atco, Algonquin Power, Fortis, Canadian Utilities , Emara and Brookfield Infrastructure. My concern is I am missing out on the renewables / green space companies. In the utility space what other recommendations you would give to ensure I am covered.

Thank you
Paul

Q: ENB. SU,TRP and PPL are my current energy holdings and I am down on all four. I have held for a long time and I am concerned energy is not coming back quickly. What would you suggest.? Reduce in all, cut 1 or 2 , if so which would you suggest I sell. As usual your input is respected.

Q: My question relates to sector allocation. Specifically, I am significantly overweight in Utilities (23%), but underweight in Energy (3%). That said, most of my utilities are related to renewable energy (AQN, BEP/BEPC and NPI, as well as FTS which is starting to tilt toward renewables). Does it make sense to 'assign' a portion of these stocks to the Energy sector? And if so, what percentage of each would you suggest could be reassigned? Thank you.
