Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Good morning.
I am looking to swap out some preferred shares that have dropped in value, for others that are approximately the same price. One that I found was TA-PR-H, however, I show them as not being profitable, and with high debt. You don't seem positive on the stock, according to other questions, but would you invest in their prefs?
Thanks, and enjoy your weekend everyone.

Q: First of all thank you for putting the "sectors" beside the names in your portfolios - that is much appreciated.

Could you please list the "utility" companies you like best in order or preference and could you state if it is "large" company or a "small" company.
Thank you
Margaret

Q: I like the cash flow from utilities and Transalta seems to be getting a handle on the new operating environment in Alberta. RNW is approx 60% owned by TA and that would mean the market is pricing TA only for it's share of RNW and assigning no value to the rest of TA business. Are my assumptions correct and if so do you have any idea why this would be so. Thanks

Q: My Question is on the Transalta preferred shares. I have the series C preferred shares that are paying me 6.8% and with reset this June expect the yield will be about 6.7%. I see that the company decided NOT to go ahead with the proposed exchange of the preferred shares last Friday. Is this a good or bad sign?

How risky do you view the Transalta preferred shares in terms of ability to pay dividends and viability long term of the company?

Please feel free to publish.
