Q: Good Morning
How do you think the following announcement by Brookfield Renewable Energy Partners will affect the price of their preferrd shares?
I am currently holding two issues:BRF.PR.B (rate reset) and BRF.PR.E.(perpetual). Although I am making some money on BRF.PR.E , BRF.PR.B is down from $20 to $17. Can Brookfield Renewable Energy Partners force a holder of BRF.PR.B to sell at $17??


Brookfield Renewable Energy Partners L.P., proud (indirect) issuer of BRF.PR.A, BRF.PR.B, BRF.PR.C, BRF.PR.E and BRF.PR.F, has announced:
that the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) accepted notice of Brookfield Renewable Power Preferred Equity Inc.’s (“BRP Equity”) intention to commence a normal course issuer bid for its outstanding Class A Preference Shares (“Preferred Shares”). BRP Equity is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Brookfield Renewable. Brookfield Renewable believes that in the event that the Preferred Shares trade in a price range that does not fully reflect their value, the acquisition of Preferred Shares may represent an attractive use of available funds. There are currently five series of Preferred Shares outstanding.

Q: Greetings! What do you think of Helen of Troy as a growth stock? Ford Equity Research rates it as a "BUY". Is it over=priced? And, can you suggest a couple of other US stocks for fairly rapid growth?

Q: Hi 5i:
I have not specifically bought any stocks as a play on US housing, but I'm thinking it may be time to do so. For possibilities I'm looking at Canadian lumber stocks, US home builders and US banks as sectors from which to chose. Do you have any advice? Of the US banks I've heard WFC suggested as the best housing play. Would you agree?

Q: Hi Peter

I have had exceptional success in buying positions in all 3 portfolios and to date have almost a full complement.

In the growth portfolio the following stocks got away from me, didn't seem to correct and therefore I don't yet hold. They are. GIX,PEO,CDV, and QHR.

I'm not asking you predict the future, so let me put it this way.... If you were in this position would you say to hell with it and buy at market open today or would you exercise patience as I have done to date and simply put in a bid and leave it there.

You opinions might vary per stock mentioned.

Thanks
