Q: Hi

Thinking of selling ICLN I am down 21% and replacing it with VDE.

Why!! I think the clean air flavor of the month is dead for a while and want the ride oil shortage.

Also METV still not show the intraday price on my Portfolio Analysis.

Thank you

Mike

Q: I was wondering if this ETF would be a good way to play the renewable energy space? Good dividend, international and spreads out the risk of just owning individual renewable stocks.

This is the best site and thanks for your continued guidance.

Q: good day 5i
Thinking about selling emera, which I will have high capital gains on and buying a renewable energy stock. I already own a full compliment of icln and wondering whether I should buy another renewable? If so, which one? I am selling emera because I suspect the government may impose higher capital gains taxes soon. And also because I think there will be more growth, with of course stability, with renewables. I thought I would pass this idea through your radar to see whether you see it as a worthy idea
Thanks
