Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: CPX announced a new rate-reset preferred today. My question is, for the fixed income side of a portfolio, do you a) consider prefs an equal alternative to bonds and b) in this case in particular, would you be better off going for the common that has a 5.8% yield today rather than rate re-set that currently has a 4.5% yield? Utilities are likely in the 7th inning right now- is either a solid long-term investment in a non-registered account? Thanks in advance.

Q: I have a question about Capital Power Corp. CPX(TSX)
I'm considering a position in CPX, and I'm wondering if you have any insight as to how they finished the year. Technicals seem to indicate the bottom is behind us, but I'd like your updated view before I decide.
How would you compare it to Northland Power NPI, and Brookfield Energy BEP.UN at this time? They all seem to be incurring losses yet the latter two seem to keep going up in price. Is CPX poised for some catch up?
Thanks.
