Q: I have a very positive view on renewables, and these stocks are well down today. I have all three of them.
I'm undecided between adding more BEP.UN, which I like best, and NPI, which is more deeply discounted. Morningstar has NPI at five stars.

Q: I'd like to build on Brian's question of July 24th regarding electrification. I have
a small position in Hammond and a couple of full positions in renewable power producers.

If you wanted to build a small sub-portfolio of stocks for the green energy trend, which companies (and how many) would you include? How much of a total portfolio might you allocate in this direction? Would you include a copper producer or consider this part of your materials allocation?

One area that seems to get very little discussion is companies that make systems to control electrical grids, and I think this will need some focus as generation becomes more distributed (e.g. rooftop solar all over the place). Suggestions in this area would be especially welcome if you think there are players worth consideration.

Thanks for your help, and for all the other people who ask public questions. I learn a lot from their queries!

Q: I own BEPC at a 6% loss, offset a bit by the dividend but have come to the conclusion that I don’t understand the renewables space, and try to avoid investing in things I don’t understand. What is the catalyst to take this higher? Are companies in renewables much like the broader non-renewable energy sector in that they are price takers and subject to cyclicality? I’m feeling like if I want some growth with a small dividend I’d sooner own BN, and if I want a decent dividend with a little growth I’d be better off with BAM? Appreciate your thoughts and opinion as always.

Q: Hi there, I own shares in both these companies. With AQN’s recent announcement that they will be selling their renewable assets I assume that includes their interest in AY.

Do you have any idea what range of share price this sale would happen at, and whether it’s more or less than AY’s share price today?

I am down on both and trying to decide whether to lighten my ownership of one or both.

Thanks!

Q: The above are my overweighted energy holdings. Can you please prioritize them as I have to reduce my weighting. Is there any I should exit. Again Thanks in advance.

Q: 7:37 AM 8/10/2023
I was looking at the share price graph of KEY this morning. On your 5i Interactive chart it shows the price as $30.19 as of Sept 01, 2014. However TD Waterhouse shows the price as $49.92 for Sept 01 2014 and Yahoo shows the price as $49.13 for Aug 31 2014 so they agree.
This is a HUGE difference.
According to 5i I have broken even but according to TDWaterhouse and Yahoo I have lost a lot of money. Which do I believe? It makes it very hard to judge historical capital gains and makes it really hard to judge whether a company is worth investing in. I doubt that many people reinvest the dividends back into the same company which I think is what the 5i chart does.
What counts is what you actually paid. Please explain
If I had bought shares in September 2014 which price would I have paid?
Thank you........ Paul W. K.
