Q: PBH is a consistent top recommendation from the balanced portfolio. But are there risks from Amazon as they are also getting into the food business?
Most of the other food manufacturers and retailers have been negatively affected by the Amazon threat, but PBH so far has not. Could this change?

Q: Hi I have held this stock for about three years so am up about 20%. I understand this type of company is often valued based on net asset valu or book value. . If that is the case it is very undervalued. Is this the case of a great company but just an ok stock? Should I continue to own(sector allocation is not an issue).and if not anything else in the sector you prefer?. Thank you. Bill
Q: The yield on this stock at its current price is > 8.5%. Is this yield sustainable for the next 1 -2 years? It makes up 2.5% of my RRSP and I am considering adding another 2.5% for purposes of yield generation. Your thoughts please.
Q: Does the price of this debenture rise and fall with demand only. What are the other factors that would negatively affect this bond. When you say it can be redeemed in 2020 I assume this is by the company. (What are the terms of redemption) If you redeem at any other period I assume it is traded as any other security. I called TD but they were not able to provide me with any real info. The current price is $117.00 does that include paying the seller the interest payment since inception and the rest represents supply and demand? How could this debenture be seriously negatively affected? Thanks so much.

Q: Peter and Associates,
I read your responses to members daily and find them most interesting and highly useful. My question this morning has to do with Spin Master(TOY). You regularly get questions on it and from what I read you think rather highly of the company as an investment.
With technological advances, we are seeing a lot of changes in the retail landscape due to impacts in buying habits and preferences at all age levels. Reading your comments on Corus is a good example of change and the consequences suppliers must adapt or at least deal with. Toys are Us just announced it went into bankruptcy protection. No doubt more than one factor explains why.
As grandparents, what entertains today’s children is rather different to their parents! Might TOY become a victim of this change and could Toys are Us prove to be a form of leading indicator? Or, might more typical business explanations or Amazon explain the problems at Toys are Us?
Beyond the obvious potential impact from the loss or cutback of a major distribution channel at the retail level, is/are there reason(s) for concern that suppliers to the toy market will be facing serious headwinds? Or is this simply a front line retailer facing viability problems in a changing landscape?
Thank you
Mike

Q: Do you think that a company like premium brands would split their shares now that they have reached the $100 level? I know it makes no difference but retail investors tend to buy when the price is lower so that they can buy more shares.
Q: Just a small follow up on the question by Alan.
the rate is determined each March and is the rate of CHANGE in the inflation rate plus 6.5, never to be less then zero. In other words if the rate of change in inflation in a year is -1 % then the rate on the deb will be 6.5-1= 5.5% , and so on.
Appreciate your views on CSU debentures. They seem to guarantee 6.5% plus the inflation rate, so have been yielding 7.5-8%. Seems like a good vehicle for income. Thx
