If the market with all its smarts didn't foresee this drop in a regulated utility stock, then what other surprises are lurking, and where could they be lurking? Interest rates is one big issue and they are going higher which will further add to AQN's woes - but these are foreseeable. Blaming poor earnings on lack of wind is another warning... I remember when a truckload of Wellbutrin was reportedly in an accident and was blamed for a Biovails poor earnings.... the truck was later found to be nearly empty at the time of the accident. Something smells.
Yeah, explaining lower power production from a wind farm due to low wind conditions sounds like such a stretch... What's next, a solar farm explaining lower production due to a lower number of sunny hours? Crazyness!
