Investment Q&A

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

Q: Good Morning. Would like your assessment of Gibson's recent earnings report along with your current opinion of this company and the "safety" of its dividend. Also, any comments you might have in regard to the oil space in general in light of recent reports about the drastically improving metrics for solar energy, and therefore long term pressure on fossil fuels as the primary energy source. Thank you.

Q: Could you help me analyse/dissect Brookfield's investment in Terra Form Power and Terra Form Global. The press release indicates a 1.4 billion $ investment by Bam.a and about 500 M $ commitment by BEP.un . Is the Bep.un portion part of the 1.4 Billion or in addition to it? Do the acquired solar and wind assets become part of the BEP.un portfolio complementing their predominately hydro-electric assets?
BAM.a is one of my largest , longest term holdings and I would like to continue to benefit from their expertise. That said, I would like to focus any additional investment on the renewable energy segment so which entity is likely to benefit most directly from this acquisition - recognizing that Bam is a growth vehicle and Bep largely an income one with some growth?
Thank-you

Q: this is just a comment in your response to Earnest on his question about the bep.un and other co.s which pay div in us funds. as far as investorline goes, for your rrsp you do not need a separate us account you can keep your funds in us dollars or cdn or a mix in the one account.if he is using his investorline rrsp all he has to do is phone them and tell them to keep the div in us funds and not to convert to cdn. I did so with no problem and moved my other rrsp acct from td to bmo for this very reason, so much easier to keep track of everything in one account and you can convert currency very easily on your own whenever you want.
