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: 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
