Q: Hi, holding these three as my staples holdings. Current weights:

ATD - 2.44%
COST - 2.37%
PBH - 1.30%

Thinking of selling the laggard PBH and adding to ATD/COST or just maybe COST. What do you think about this? Is PBH a buy, sell, or hold? Can you compare the three in terms of valuation and which would be best going forward for growth.

Thanks!
