Q: CPX took a hit following their last quarter, but they did raise their dividend and still have around a 50% payout (correct?). With the lower price, I am considering buying some, mainly for the dividend as opposed to capital gains (I'm retired and always looking for income). Some questions:
- has their coal-plant issue been satisfactorily resolved
- is their debt level in line with other power producers
- what do you think of their movement towards renewables
- do you consider the dividend sustainable (yeah, I know . . . )
- how successful have they been in meeting estimates
- would you buy today for income (I already hold AQN and NPI)

Thank-you

Q: First of all thank you for putting the "sectors" beside the names in your portfolios - that is much appreciated.

Could you please list the "utility" companies you like best in order or preference and could you state if it is "large" company or a "small" company.
Thank you
Margaret

Q: Hi, could you please rank these 6% plus income stocks purely in terms of relative security of the dividend. Any that you feel might little too risky for a conservative retired investor. Thanks.

Q: Thoughts on the CPX offering @ $24.75? I am looking to replace my XBB shares in my RIF for some extra income ( 6.3% vs 2.7% ) or any other ideas?

Q: Can you give me your opinion on CPX recent earnings?

Comment on the plant purchases they made.

Do you believe spot price for electricity in Alberta will go up from current (no pun intended :) 23$ per mWh?

I have held this stock for over 5 years but it has been much more volatile than say a Fortis utility.

I wonder if they have turned the corner in terms of volatility.

Thank you for your helpful comments.

Best regards
Stephane
