Q: hi,
brookfield renewable has dropped nearly 20% from their recent highs, on the back of good earnings, and no major missteps as far as i can tell. i notice that the PE ratio is in the 70's?? that seems very high for this type of company, no? could this not trade around 20-50 PE?? and therefore some sigificant further drop???
thanks for your thoughts.

Q: Peter, would you please explain the differnce to me between Brookfield Infrastucture and Brookfield renewable power. I have 3% of my portfolio now in Brookfield renewable. Should I be putting some new monies into Brookfield Infrastucture or stick with your high rating of Brookfield renewable? Your insight is really appreciated Peter, Thank You, Ken

Q: 1. In your Model Portfolio, several companies have a NR (no rating). I wonder if you can explain that. I imagine that there may be several reasons, some more important than others.
2. I have followed Brookfield for a long time as I used to know an executive at Brascan many years ago. I would appreciate it if you could comment on the different stocks under that name.

Q: Hi Peter, my question is about BEP.UN which is rated "A". When one looks at BEP.UN stock quote on the Web (see link below),one sees: EPS -0.38; Forward P/E 105.90. Is there something I do not understand? May be these numbers are wrong? Thanks, Gervais

Q: A tax question which might not be your expertise, but anyway here goes.
A Limited Partnership, such as BEP.UN, is this treated as a separate category for capital gains and losses from "normal" equities? Example: if I sold BEP.UN in the future for a loss, could I claim that loss against my other "normal" equities capital gains? Are there any other tax issues regarding holding units in a LP such as BEP.UN? I have yet to receive any tax slips for BEP.UN, T5013 or anything, from my broker. Is this very late receipt of slips for an LP usual? Thanks for your thoughts.

Q: Southern Investigative Reporting Foundation recently issued a report that questioned Brookfield Asset management 's corporate structure and accounting methods, This. it seems, has prompted a sell-off in the shares and a number of their subsidiaries. BEP.un is currently included in your Model Portfolio.The shares continue to trend down and in view of the recent report are you still comfortable with keeping these shares in your Model Portfolio?
