Q: I own Tranalta preferred share series F and although I understand why preferred shares in general have declined recently because of qantative easing comments recently, I am at a loss to understand why these share have dropped so much. As I understand it the balance sheet is fairly solid and this series will be redeemed or the rate is due to be reset in about 2 years. If Transalta does have cash flow problems it could reduced the common dividend and at least temporarily solve the problem. Can you explain this?
Q: ARE TRANSALTA COMMON STOCK AND PREFERRED SHARES NOW AT A GOOD ENTRY PLACE? TX.

Q: I know you’re not big on TA (Transalta) and you have commented that it’s only a hold for income. I’ve held TA for 10 years and in that time many have commented that they (TA) do not earn the dividend, however the dividend is supported by the cash flow. It’s been that way as long as I can remember.
Today TA suspended their “Premium Dividend Program”, which I think just allowed shareholders to purchase shares at a discount. Do you see this as a early warning that the cash flow supported dividend might be in jeopardy or is this just a reaction to the stock trading near its 52 week low?
Thanks

Q: Hi Peter; I enjoyed your weekend article in FP... good perspective.
TA has been beaten up (justifiably, perhaps). Would you view the current $17 price as attractive for a long term hold in a TFSA?
