Q: hello 5i:
Owning "best of breed" or "best in class" is always factored into decisions in purchasing shares. Having held PANW for a number of years, and happy with results, I nevertheless wonder if selling and buying CRWD in its place, would be a strategy you'd see as beneficial. Discussion on the pros/cons would be helpful.
always listening

Q: Hi 5i
A question was recently asked concerning the "return of capital" required to support the high distributions of FHI.

What percentage is required for HHl,and LIFE ?

What is long term net effect of "return of capital" on the share price of these funds? Does it continue to fall?

Does it ever get to a point where all or most "capital" has been returned ?
Just looking for very general understanding if return of capital is good or bad.... or maybe not an issue?
Thx
Jim

Q: Hi,
Seems like since they have decided to drop the acquisition of that UK company, DND is cash flush with the financing they did not to long ago at $50.50 per share. The stock has since been trading well below that level. I was surprised when they stated an increase to their credit facility to $700 million, today. The company now has Capital of a billion dollars. I cant see any other reason for a company to be sitting on a billion dollars via financings other than if they have some massive acquisitions in the pipeline. May i get your take ? Thanks,

Q: As the price of REAL drops would you consider this factor putting the company in play for a takeover? I am thinking of starting to buy into a position now that it is low fourteens and would like to hear your thoughts. This is a profitable debt free company which nobody seems to like and is priced like it has low growth future. Generally I do not bottom feed but I am intrigued.
