Sale is curious but gets no media coverage .This is a falrly substantial utility like stock which has been getting upgrades recently from analysts . I have to wonder if the German shareholders of the stock may be having a cash crunch and had the need of capital . This was a partial sale to be exercised quickly , so it does not appear to be strategic. I was hoping for some company comment or indication from Brookfield. ( substequent actions will ceratinly clear this up ) So close to earnings without explanation raises a lot of flags on what should be a pretty solid business. I will be standing by to act if this is a buying opportunity, but the Germans have much more to sell if they have to.
