Q: DSG (Descartes): FPE of 54, ROE low single digit, no dividend, EPS very small - seems very over valued to me. It looks like it has no debt.? I do not see an investment thesis here? Comments please. I usually do not buy companies that do not pay a dividend and grow it on a regular basis which to me shows confidence going forward. Looking for a diversifier. Own ABT, SIS & ZCL in small portions in TFSA.

Q: Dear Peter and Team,

My weighting in bonds has decreased as my stocks (matching BE portfolio plus some US and international holdings) have increased. I was considering trimming some stock gains and adding some short-duration bonds. What do you think of the following two choices?

1. AT&T INC, 3.2 coupon (current Ask YTM is 2.77835%) maturing 3/1/2022
2. FORD MOTOR CREDIT CO LLC, 3.336 coupon (Ask YTM 2.71415%), maturing 3/18/2021

The goal I am trying to achieve with the bonds is preservation of capital with small returns as a bonus and reduction of portfolio standard deviation by adding low-correlation securities. Current total bond weighting is about 7.5% and I am 35 years old.
