Q: Please comment on the recent downgrade TRP received from Moody's citing TRP's weak financial profile to Baa1. Debt to EBITDA is expected to be 5x in 2019, ENB is about the same. Moody's downgraded ENB to just above junk about a year ago to Baa3. It would seem Moody's feels 5x EBITDA is not good, Shouldn't we avoid these companies?

Q: In their recent press release shorting SHOP, Citron says they will donate $200k to the Robin Hood Foundation if the stock is higher one year from today. (Google search says there is a charitable Robin Hood Foundation)
Although the Citron downgrade of SHOP is not new the placing of a bet on the outcome is new - at least to me. Assuming it is legal, have you ever seen this done before? Does Citron actually pay the money if they are wrong? Is this a material amount to Citron or just the cost of doing business to them? If this is for real, should I diarize March 2020 to note that another short attack on SHOP will be forthcoming if Citron is indeed wrong and need to cover their butts?
Appreciate yoru insight.

Q: Re Micron from RBC, " Though the industry is experiencing positive sales growth as a whole, MU has been unable to grow sales and is losing market share. This trend continues from the previous year when sales growth at MU and the Semiconductors industry were -20.62% and 3.53%, respectively. Also, " Joint venture partner Intel will be ending its partnership with Micron, which creates another competitor for Micron to deal with." Thoughts on the market share statement and any idea how big of an impact the ending of Intel relationship will be?

Hi Larry,
Crius and Vistra are on track to close. Shareholder approval was received as well as other required approvals. However, there is one last approval required that we are currently awaiting on from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). Once received from FERC, the closing will occur no later than the fifth business day after such approval, at which time the final distribution will be paid. Our regulatory counsel have advised us that FERC approval should be received shortly, and no later than end of April.

Q: Hi
Thanks as always for your great service. I would appreciate your opinion on Arc resources. It went down by over 6percent in a week after I bought it for the long term. Is the dividend safe? Will the price remain this volatile?
