Q: Tegna has been recommended to me and, given that it is a company that I know very little about, I was wondering if you could give me your thoughts on it and whether you think it would be good for up to a half position in a portfolio for a 3 to 5 year hold.

Thanks.

Q: 4:17 PM 5/8/2019
Your 5i profile on NPI shows Debt/Equity of 9.22 and Morningstar gives a comparable figure of D/E of 8.96. These figures are a world ahead over, for example, Enbridge [1.05 and 0.93 respectfully], and PPL [0.63 and 0.53], and RY [0.12 and 0.49] and CSH.UN [2.31 and 2.32].

These figures suggest that NPI has staggering debt. Can you resolve this issue.

I do not want to invest in companies overburdened with unmanageable debt yet you still recommend NPI over AQN [answer to Morgan may 8th] which has D/E of "only" 1.11 and 1.05 from 5i and Morningstar respectively.
Thank you............. Paul K

Q: Team,
What do you think about Bombardier? Is it a good stock to buy for a trade.?
I know they have about 9.5B in debt and lots of it is coming due in 2020. But given that they have the support of the government and the Quebec pension fund already invested 2.5B, it seems to be okay for a trade.!
Thank You

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
