Q: Chesswood Group. (CHW) is down a lot today on heavy volume. It seems the CEO is selling a lot shares. Yet the earnings last week were good. Am I missing something but does this sell off represent a good buying opportunity .

Q: I am looking to add a renewable energy producer to my existing power producers (EMA and CPX). My main objective is income. What is your opinion of Transalta Renewables, RNW? Could you comment on their debt levels, dividend stability/payout and whether the association with Transalta is a positive or negative. They seem to have very long term existing PPAs. Do you think the extra dividend is worth holding RNW, or is Brookfield (BEP.UN) really a better choice?
Thanks

Q: Hi Peter and Team. Great site. BTW I just renewed my subscription and gave a gift subscription to my Father for Christmas. My question is which out of the following energy infrastructure companies do you think is the best value and would recommend buying/adding to at this point in time. IPL, KEY, ALA, PPL or VSN. Also are there any things that make you concerned about any of these companies. Thanks Scott

Q: Peter, I asked a question yesterday PM. & received the answer this early AM. Fabulous service. On the other hand, I asked a question about 10 days ago on STB & am still waiting for your reply. I didn't bother to enquire before because of your note concerning possible delays. My earlier STB question again concerned the continuing monthly purchase by SNCF of nearly 100,000 shares & now represent over 10% of issued securities.
I have a substantial investment in STB (for monthly income only & have protected the downside) however, I just find it unusual that a very large France based conglomerate would continue to invest nearly 1mm a month in this really small SchoolBus Co.???? As ever, your expertize is appreciated.

Q: I am very soft at present on almost all Cdn. energy stocks with the exception of TOU & Whitecap. On the other hand I continue to be very positive on the energy support side - ie: PPL, IPL, PHX, BDI, etc. Would appreciate your opinion & in particular your preference between PPL & IPL. Thank you.

Q: PBH
We read the latest report on premium brands which sounded very good to us, stock opens 5% lower at 3 times the volume. We have a half weight position and were wondering if we should top up or take the 25% gain it has made since we bought it. Basically b/s/h?

Q: My 100 year old father has a few dividend paying stocks but most of his portfolio is in GIC’s. One GIC just expired and I am looking to buy something new for him. I find that a one year renewal will only achieve a 1.4% interest. He will not need money from this source for about 5 years thus can invest in anything fairly safe. The only issue is death which I believe would result in selling to satisfy estate requirements. I was thinking of banks, pipelines, etc because of limited downside and relatively high dividend rates compared to GIC’s. Can you please comment and provide some suggestions? Thank you. As always I very much value your comments.

Q: I am considering buying Kinder Morgan KMI-N. Seeking Alpha has some interesting & controversial information about the Barron's article & insider buying following the publication. In doing some stock chart overlays KMI-N against WMB-N,SE-N,PAA-N,ENB-N,TRP-N,I find the yield & price discrepancy rather compelling. Your comments greatly appreciated. Ken
