Q: Peter,

I am trying to get a handle on the way the industry calculates debt to equity ratio. I look at ATD.B and on 5-I it shows .84. Morningstar shows 1.17. They don't seem to include other LT liabilities. My calculation shows 15,577 / 7563 = 2.05 ( April 2019 YE).
Please advise the calculation method that is consistent in the industry so I can compare apples to apples with different companies.

Thank you,

Paul

Q: Trying to decide what to do with this company which has done very well recently and is now selling above analysts one year target. After being under water for a couple of years I'm now up 30%. It's grown to 50% of my TFSA tho' less than 3% of my overall portfolio. Should I stay the course? Reduce? Sell outright and hope for a dip?
Appreciate your comments, please.

Q: I own all of these in equal weighting (7% each). Down quite a bit on NFI. Just seeing if I should keep it and give it the long term (10 years) to provide a good return or sell because there is a better company to replace it with for a better long term performance at this point. Any other recommendations as I do have some cash side lined at this point (30%).

Q: I own the above companies with the following corresponding weighting:
2.6%;1.3%;2.2%;2.5%;2.7%;2.2%. I am looking at the possibility of doing some consolidating - what are your thoughts on consolidating? If I consolidate - what 1 or possibly 2 companies would you eliminate and what 1 or 2 companies would you add to?
Use as many of my questions as you need and thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Hi, I hold full positions in ATD, L, and PBH. My PBH is down about 20%, however, and I have a small position in WN as a result of the spin-off.

I need to increase my consumer defensive and am debating whether to bring WN up to a full position or average down on PBH. I know you aren't a fan of averaging down and you also aren't a fan of holding very small positions so I'm leaning toward adding to WN.

Your thoughts?

Thanks,
Robert
