Howdy 244snowy-ga,

A reminder of the "Important Disclaimer: Answers and comments provided on

I don't know if all the claims about them are true, but the company in
question is the Brascan Corporation.
http://www.brascancorp.com/

"With direct investments of US$20 billion and a further US$7 billion of
assets under management, Brascan owns interests in over 70 premier office
properties in North America and London, U.K. We also own over 120 power
generating plants with a generating capacity of over 2,600 MW."

Again, I don't know the veracity of it, but the Agora, Inc. web site has
a report that is bullish on Brascan.
http://www.agora-inc.com/reports/FST/WFSTF408/

"It owns and operates 120 concrete hydroelectric dams in the United States
and Canada. And these low maintenance concrete slabs produce electricity
for one cent per kilowatt hour and sell it for four! That works out to a
300% profit margin."

If you need any clarification, please feel free to ask.

Also keep in mind that even the Brascan Corp. is a bit more conservative of
their own targets than others.  From their "Investor Centre" web page.
http://www.brascancorp.com/InvestorCentre/Investorcentre.html

"Specifically, our goal is to generate cash flow growth of 10-15% per year."
