Q: Yesterday I said that I have just sold all our shares in SPB:CA despite the high dividend, because the share price has been languishing for too long. In fact the share price has been steadily declining and it is this decline over a long period that has pushed me to sell.
I asked for alternatives in the energy industry, but you excluded oil and gas suggestions.
I have recently sold ENB because its share price has also been steadily declining. If a stock has a high dividend, I still like to see the share price remaining stable or increasing a little.
We have a 5% position in BEP:UN, but I have always considered this to be more of a utility than an energy stock. Your suggestions seem to be very similar to BEP:UN.

So can you reflect on this and give me a suggestion on a single company in the energy industry that is likely to provide the best ROI over the next 3-5 years, but include oil & gas in your answer.

Thanks in advance.

Q: I purchased these two based on your recommendations. NXT slightly off but it is early days. NXT up 50%. Thank you your guidance. My question is about the volatility of these two stocks. They will trade +/- 5% in a day quite often. Does this kind of movement concern you or does it represent the kind of investor involved in these stocks?

Very much appreciated your solid reply to Brant this morning. I am sure most members are happy the way you run your site.

Take credits as you see fit.

Q: Everyone, my neighbour just bought a ‘Back to the Future’ car with spoilers and all - yes he really did - and last night, without his knowledge I used it to go back to 1981. Then I used my life savings of $10000 to buy 125,000 shares of Apple stock. After the market closed that day in 1981 I flew back home to today. Now, I want to buy a stock from the next big growth industry AI. If I could buy just one stock, what stock would I buy? Clayton
