Q: BROOKFIELD RENEWABLE PARTNERS L.P. is, I believe, the legal name for the Brookfield business with TSX symbol BEP.UN. Is BEP.UN a U.S. Master Limited Partnership (MLP)? An article in the May 27 Globe Report on Business discusses the risks to a Canadian investor holding U.S. MLPs, including a 39.6% withholding tax on payments to non-residents (according to the article, the tax applies to both registered & non-registered accounts). Is this applicable to BEP.UN.? Thanks for your reply. Edward.

Q: Enbridge has been steadily drifting lower, down about $5 a share in the past month. Would you have any incite into the reasons for this decline? Also do you foresee anything on the horizon that might stop this erosion in share value?
A roughly 10% drop does seem excessive for a conservative company such as this.

Q: What are your thoughts on the preferred shares of Aimia?
Q: I have a 50% gain on CAE over the last year or so. Would you sell it now before the earnings and purchase ENB for the long term?
Q: For portfolio weighting purposes do I include preferred shares in fixed income or equity? Is it also necessary to further break out pref shares as to the industry they are in or is credit worthiness the primary concern? In other words, if 10% of my total portfolio is in financial pref shares, and I also have 15% of my equities in financials, should I then consider myself to hold 25% financials and thus be overweight?
Thanks for your help.

Q: Hello,
As a followup to my previous question. I was thinking of adding this to my international portion of my portfolio. My discount broker was giving me warnings about buying this to a registered account. This is sold at an OTC exchange? How come I am able to hold BABA but not this? Many thanks.
