Q: Portfolio Analytics has suggested I reduce of my exposure in the Utilities sector. My holdings consist of AEP, CPX, EIX and NI. Is there one you would sell or should I maintain a position in all.

Thank you

Q: What ails AEP ? It has had scandals and blunders many years ago, but I thought they were over all that. Morgan Stanley added AEP to it s Global Dividend Fund just last month. I bought AEP only days ago and its down over 10% ; down 5% in the past 5 days. Unusual for a boring utility. I don’t see news bad enough to warrant such a drop , but seems something there could be rotten. What gives? Are complete idiots running AEP? Regulatory issues? Heat melting the already weak management brains? What is going on under the hood? Would appreciate your deeper insight, many thanks

Q: Hi 5i,
Looking for a few companies in the material and gold sector currently own NTR and AEP. I'm putting close to 10% of my stock portfolio into this area. Can you name a few companies for me, they can be Canadian or US companies but need to have a dividend.
Many thanks!

Q: I wrote to you about US utilities on July 20,2020. Included in my question were : AEP (with DUK and SO).
AEP dropped about 4% this morning. I didn’t see any news today that is bad enough to affect the share price that much. All news items are two or more days ago. Do you see anything what caused the price drop? 4% is not trivial for a steady bond proxy.

In particular , would you change or update your answer to my July 20 question please? Thanks.

Q: Hi,

I purchased these utility and telecoms largely because of their low beta. In the recent downturn, they fell as much or more than hi growth stocks like SHOP, FB, AMZN or NVDA. AQN was down over 40%?? How do you account for that? Seems to me I'm better off ignoring 'safety' and going for growth?

Thanks
