Q: I've already asked about BEP.UN earlier this week however, it keeps dropping & with little or no support base. Also, their Balance Sheet & overall debt, adjusted for the Western Wind purchase is very high, maybe too high for any mid-term profit!? Your thoughts! Thanks.

Q: BEP.UN misses estimates in more then one area yet SP holds up??? What are your thoughts? Is there a better long-term div. payer that you would recommend?
Q: I am somewhat confused by your A rating for BEP.UN. I undertand it is a solid, safe company with a reasonable distribution. Using your charts, you show it as having had a 4.0% gain and producing a 4.0% yield.However, when I compare it with the other A and A- stocks from your ratings that I also own (BAD, BYD.UN, CSU, ESL, and STN) it is substantially inferior on a relative basis. That being so, why does it have the same rating as those stocks. I am going to select the private option, but if you think it would be useful for othes to see your answer, feel free to make your answer public.

Q: I have a question about Brookfield Renewable
I use the TMXMoney site to check fundamentals of companies. This site shows that the EPS of BEP.UN is -1.83 yet it pays out a dividend of 1.38. I like the yield that BEP.UN offers but am concerned that it can't possibly be sustainable if the company is actually losing money. Am I missing something here? I am looking to invest in companies with decent yield. I don't need any capital appreciation but I don't wish to incur big capital losses either.

Q: Hi Peter, you must get tired of answering these similar questions on capital power and Brookfield renewable. As you know Capital is near a one year low and really near a 5 year low. Sure looks like a time to buy to me with 6% yield.With this past years trading record ,is it a good safe investment for the long run. I mean 5 years or more? I will not buy anything with a div. under 5% and Brookfield is so close, with the news on Brazil. I lean towards Capital with a bit higher yield and the potential problems in Brazil for Brookfied. Your thoughts please with the recent drop in Capital. Thanks for the patience and good advice, Ken
Q: You mentioned in commentary that BEP has slipped in price due to Brazil wanting to lower power prices. Could you pls provide perspective as to materilaity this could potentially have on BEP's earnings and share price were it to occur. Thx!
Q: BEP.UN is pulling back on the Western Wind stock purchase. As I recall one of the things you liked about BEP.UN was that it was primarily a hydro based utility. Does this purchase represent a change of direction in your opinion and what do you think of BEP.UN at this time.
