Q: I hold the above utility stocks and can't help but notice the daily declines. Is this related to current and forecast interest rate increases, and/or something else? I appreciate that, like everyone else, you don't have a crystal ball. But is it possible that the downward trend may continue for at least a while until the cause plays itself out? Thanks as always.

Q: Hi team,
Apart from the interest rate changes affecting Power companies like AQN and FTS, do you consider them good conservative long-term holds considering their potential business losses from emerging tech like solar? More homes and businesses in our neighbourhood have solar panels as the tech becomes cheaper to acquire and install.

thanks!
