I am an Uncle lurker. I do my own investing and am humbled by the wealth of knowledge that our members have and most importantly share. I feel guilty that I do not add to the board in any substantial way as by the time I find something to share , members have posted already.
Anyway , I wanted to invest in green energy starting a couple of years ago hoping that policy in the US would change. I found BEP - Brookfield Renewable Partners - at the time I was able to buy in at $29/ share ( $59 today). Since then the stock spun off a company called BEPC giving me 1 share for every 4 of BEP I owned. In the beginning BEP was paying an 8% dividend. Now after the spin off and a double in the price the dividend is down to 3% but then again I now own not only a bunch of BEP but a bunch of BEPC as well ( which has gone up over 25% since the spin off) and they both pay the same dividend.
News came out this week that BEP is planning a stock split to happen in the 2nd qtr. next year ( 3 for 2 split). I would never offer any insight to this board unless I , not only felt strongly about its validity , but also to have history that backs up my post.

I hope someone finds this useful and I feel better that I can add something of worth to the conversations on this board
