Q: You guys must be getting annoyed with all the questions on these companies, but I will press my luck with one more from a slightly different angle. I own them and I am trying to determine how low they go if earnings and commentary show any kind of slowdown. I am trying to better understand the risk/reward in continuing to hold versus just stepping aside until there is a clear reversal in trend. I am thinking that if there is no growth or a reduction in sales and earnings these could still fall much further, and I am hoping for your thoughts on how much.
Thanks

Q: You've mentioned a few times that TVK has higher debt levels. Generally I would take a pass on high debt but did buy some a while back and have done okay. Is there reason to be concerned by the level of debt today? Under what scenarios would it be a problem, and what are your thoughts on the likelihood of those scenarios?

Thanks.
