Q: I note in your reply to Mark today you say that COLD is expensive; the question from an investment standpoint is how expensive are they? It seems that earnings expectations are all over the place for fiscal '19 and '20. First Call seems to expect over $1 in '20, TR 0.67, while PE ratios presented are anything between almost 300 and 130, which doesn't compute, and on top of that should COLD be evaluated as a REIT AFFO or other criteria or as an ordinary industrial equity? I also note that COLD has failed to meet earnings expectations for the past four consecutive quarters.
Taking into account actual earnings and volume growth could you please fill in some of these gaps and provide a basis for reasoned evaluation of this company's share pricing. The price run down in recent days could provide an attractive entry into an enterprise which appears to have significant prospects because of industry needs as well as fragmentation. Thank you.
