Q: As stated,TOY missed estimated eps,but sales increased by 26% accompanied by sharp increase in both allowance for doubtful accounts to $9.9m & accounts receivable.It appears that there could be more write off for the account of Toy R US in future.I wonder why management did not provide details of TOY R US & its impact given that it & 2 other big companies represents a sizeable portion of sales

Q: Just a few questions on the new NFI report. Your data on the website (love the new expanded info!) shows EPS estimates of $3.07 and $3.28 in 2017 and 2018. On my RBC research they show 2.48 and 2.57. Is it usual that analysts would differ so considerably in their estimates?
Also on the web site data you show NFI dividend growth of 4.30% over 5years but your recent report indicates growth of 7.9% over 5 years?
Based on the 3.07 3.28 earnings are expected to grow 7%. Does this include the expected margin expansion to 6.8%?
Many thanks.
Mike

Q: I am curious when CSU was acquired into the Balanced Equity portfolio. You show it as having a return of 508.75% since inception, the highest of all holdings. I have held it since April 28, 2015 and have a return of 51.67%. I try to mimic the Balanced Equity portfolio as much as I can but I know it can hardly be quite the same.
