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 bought these two stocks years ago when you had them in your portfolio, they have gone a fair bit south since then but I am seeing some interest from analysts in these being in a buy position again.

Q: Holding AQN in a dividend portfolio and down like many others. Pondering a switch to BEPC and looking for your thoughts on this move based upon prospects for total return over the next 2-3 years. I understand that in these situations looking forward is what matters but must admit I think my bitterness at the fall of AQN might be clouding my rationality a bit.

Q: ATH is to report earnings March 1st.
1/4 ly earnings estimates don't look promising.
I notice they have a short position of over 7% about 45mm shares.
I like that insider holdings shows skin in the game,
They have now been on the TSX for a year and price is improving. Any chance ATH will finally start a dividend.
Your comments please.

Q: I know you generally have a favorable opinion on Enbridge, but I have a hard time getting past a couple of things about the company:

1. Debt load - While their cash flows have been increasing, so has their LTD. And they don't seem to be in any hurry to pay it down. That, and with interest rates moving up, will the increased service costs not hamper their future dividend growth?

2. Dividend - It was not that long ago they were forecasting 7-10% div growth. Then they reduced it to 5-7 and then 3-5. The most recent increases are closer to 3% than 5.

While I acknowledge the things they provide are basically necessities (so we need companies like this), are the best days behind this stock? Do you see another stock that is akin to Enbridge 15-20 years ago in terms of growth / dividend growth?

Thanks in advance. I appreciate the service you provide.
