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

Q: Can you comment on earnings.

Can you comment on earnings please.

CPX is about 2% of my portfolio. I have owned it for about three years approx and I am up slightly on my investment plus the dividends of course.

Is there positive consensus that they will get sufficient compensation for closing coal plant early?

What is your current rating on the company? I am a buy and hold guy.

Thank you
Stephane

Q: Hi
I would appreciate your view on the recent Capital Power minimum reset preferred issue CPX.PR.G. It has a floor of 6% yield with upside if interest rates eventually go up. I am aware that the Alberta government is planning to retire colas assets and the compensation may fall short. My thought is the prefs would be a relatively safer way to capture yield. Your perspective is appreciated
Thank you
Steven

Q: Peter; The Alberta government just announced they are going to challenge a agreement made by the previous PC government to basically allow power companies out of contracts if they proved to be unprofitable due to actions by the government. It's called the ENRON agreement.. Can you quantify which companies these would be, and the impact, if the challenge is upheld.? Thanks. Rod

Q: Alqonquin, Capial Power, and Altagas have rate reset preferred shares selling at a significant discount with reset dates in 2018. With a 5 year Government rate of .55 to .7 they have issues that will still offer a very attractive rate of return. For a conservative investor would you rate these issuing companies as an acceptable TFSA investment?. How would you rank them?

Thanks Team

Q: Hi Peter and Staff
I hold a small position in CPX in my utilities group. Wondering how you feel about KWH.UN that I do not own as a replacement or would you suggest I keep CPX or sell CPX and look elsewhere entirely in a different sector as I own all the other usual recommended suspects in this sector.
