Q: Regarding Doug's question I would note that James Hodgins made some very positive comments on Friday about it on BNN.

Q: What sector would you advise to look for some growth without huge risk. Excluding tech, which is clearly hated right now.

Q: During a serious market correction should a rebalancing happen?When the rebound in stocks eventually occurs you have less in stocks as the assets have been reallocated to bonds and cash. Therefore you will never fully recover. Should there be a waiting period?

Q: Hi

I have about $300k new money I want to add to my modest stock/etf portfolio (Total will be $500k)- I am a bit fearful of the bubble (stocks and bonds) - Any suggestions for a reasonable safe yield for 6-12 months ?

Q: Would you recommend this fund as part of the fixed income portion of a portfolio?

Thank you.

Q: There's no "double exchange" of currency on the distributions. From the BEP website:

Distribution Currency Option

The quarterly distributions payable on the Partnership’s LP Units are declared in U.S. dollars. Beginning with the fourth quarter distribution payable December 31, 2016, unitholders resident in the United States will receive payment in U.S. dollars and unitholders resident in Canada will receive the Canadian dollar equivalent unless they request otherwise. The Canadian dollar equivalent of the quarterly distribution will be based on the Bank of Canada daily average exchange rate on the record date or, if the record date falls on a weekend or holiday, on the Bank of Canada daily average exchange rate of the preceding business day.

Registered unitholders resident in Canada who wish to receive a U.S. dollar distribution and registered unitholders resident in the United States wishing to receive the Canadian dollar distribution equivalent should contact Brookfield Renewable’s transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company of Canada, in writing at 100 University Avenue, 8th Floor, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2Y1 or by phone at 1-800-564-6253. Beneficial unitholders (i.e., those holding their units in street name with their brokerage) should contact the broker with whom their units are held.

Q: Hi Your answer to me re the div on this stock was wrong the div paid to Canadian investors is converted into C$ that is a fact if you wish to hold them in the us side of your account they are converted back to US $ thus the double conversion
Stan

Q: Hi Peter &Ryan
I wished to take a position in this stock on the US side of my cash account due to the div being in US $ I was told by my trading house that although the div is in US$ it must be paid in C$ which would mean a double exchange this is in my opion absurd .
Could you explain the rational for this that Brookfield is using .
Which should be a good stock for a US div is not good due to the double exchange.
Kind Regards
Stan

Q: Thoughts on the company post bought deal?

Q: Hi, can you please comment on today's increase in trading volume. Also, how does this company compare to others in the industry pertaining to affo. With the upcoming capex and very few "buys" on the stock, do you feel this company has a higher probability of surprising to the upside? With payout ratio at around 60%, do you think they will raise the dividend anytime soon? Thanks! :)

Q: Any reason for drop today or just profit taking? Your insight please.

Q: Peter; In response to Bobs question on discount firms I would highly recommend BMO INVESTORLINE. I have been using them since they began the service. They also have a number of ETF's available , some managed by Larry Berman . They respond quickly and are open to changes . Security is excellent.
