Q: Hello.
CPX Capital Power. Reading in the economist how conventional power producers in Germany got sqeezed and squitched,by the increased share of renewable energy, losing more than half their market cap in a few years, How do you view the possible impact of new solar and wind getting subsidized at the expense of established power producers. My question is specifically for CPX which has itself a small interest in wind farms. I have sent you a copy of the articles in this week Economist. Thanks.

Q: CPX announced a new rate-reset preferred today. My question is, for the fixed income side of a portfolio, do you a) consider prefs an equal alternative to bonds and b) in this case in particular, would you be better off going for the common that has a 5.8% yield today rather than rate re-set that currently has a 4.5% yield? Utilities are likely in the 7th inning right now- is either a solid long-term investment in a non-registered account? Thanks in advance.

Q: I have a question about Capital Power Corp. CPX(TSX)
I'm considering a position in CPX, and I'm wondering if you have any insight as to how they finished the year. Technicals seem to indicate the bottom is behind us, but I'd like your updated view before I decide.
How would you compare it to Northland Power NPI, and Brookfield Energy BEP.UN at this time? They all seem to be incurring losses yet the latter two seem to keep going up in price. Is CPX poised for some catch up?
Thanks.
