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

Q: My wife and I own POW and PWF respectively in our taxable accounts, both purchased earlier this year. There was an article in the Globe & Mail a couple of days ago about shareholder dissatisfaction with corporate governance, specifically referring to members of the Desmarais family.

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-power-corp-faces-shareholder-dissatisfaction-with-company-governance/

Any thoughts on this article? I get the feeling that this is not a new issue. Thanks.

Thanks

Q: 10:15 AM 5/16/2019
1. Could you please provide the numbers for, and compare and comment on : debt levels, financial leverage, debt to cashflow, and payout ratios for EMA, FTS, AQN, BIP.UN, BEP.UN.
2. You seem to always rate EMA at the bottom of the list [Why?] but I believe EMA has sold off some significant assets [Emera Maine and others?, more to come?] so debt levels should be lower, so is it a secure buy now for long-term dividend income?
3. I worry that BIP and BEP both have extremely high payout ratios. You have suggested that a total of 15% of one's portfolio in these two would be acceptable. Are you still of that opinion?
Thank you........ Paul K
