Q: Can you suggest utility stocks to hold for the long term? I currently own capital power, Enbridge and Brookefield infrastructure.

I noted TA is a best stock recommendation but is it too much overlap with CPX?

Q: Hi,
I saw a Morningstar article in January about BEP, mentioning this:

Big picture: Management announced plans to address the widening relative premium of BEPC to BEP shares. The firm launched an at-the-market equity program for BEPC shares, which it plans to use to repurchase shares of BEP, given the outsize relative premium.

YTD both BEP.UN and BIP.UN ouperformed their counterparts, BEPC and BIPC. Would it be the reason?

Do you have any knowledge of this Brookfield’ plan. Thanks.

Q: Can you give me an idea of the relative value of the two Brookfield Infrastructures? Seems like BIPC is somewhat expensive and buying focus should be on the units (bearing in mind the tax issues)? Thanks

Q: Any part of their business domiciled in the US gets taxed? Correct?

This has been the case with..."BROOKFIELD INFRASTRUCTURE PARTNERS L P UNITS MLP NON-RES TAX WITHHELD "

This is not happening with my BEP.UN also in my TFSA. These were both purchased in a CAD account I'm likely missing something obvious?

I must have missed something. Thank You
