Q: How should one employ the forward price to sales multiple to determine value? What I’m trying to figure out is when to avoid a stock that has gone over its skis as they say. Take stocks from ultra to pstg to Crwd - we go from 1 x earnings to 23 x. By that gauge, one presumably buy Ultra. But when I think of value, I remember how I once bought Rim over Apple because the former looked cheaper. Can you comment on any guideline for us of this metric? Thank you,

Jason

Further to my previous question on AIF, can you comment on the tax treatment that will be applied to the distributions resulting from its upcoming merger? (note: my previous question on AIF's prospect should, I suppose. be better directed at MFIC...)

Q: I see that AD.UN currently has a yield of 8.7% and its stock price has been fairly stable for quite a while. Can you tell me how much the yield has varied over, say, the last four years or so? In other words, does the yield from this company vary a lot over time or is it too, like its stock price, fairly stable?
