Q: My question is about global debt as a potential factor affecting markets going forward. According to a report in the Washington Post today global debt is now about 318 percent of world gross domestic product.

The breakdown is reported like this: Government debt has tripled from $20 trillion in 2000 to $65 trillion in 2018, rising as a share of GDP from 55 percent to 87 percent. Household debt has increased over the same years, from $17 trillion to $46 trillion (from 44 percent to 60 percent of GDP). Finally, nonfinancial corporate debt rose from $24 trillion to $73 trillion (71 percent of GDP to 92 percent).

Do you think growing global indebtedness is a serious risk factor investors should be aware of?

Q: I have been analyzing my holdings through this recent rally and most have performed well , some like COV and HMMJ spectacularly well. VB and CRH are two which are not participating. I know you are not fans of CRH. Why is VB not participating ? While it is a short term view, surely sentiment must have an effect. Even GUD is up lately.

Q: What is your view on NFLX at this point? The recovery has been very nice, but I am wondering it is getting close to pull-back again. The increase in pricing will help earnings, but could they be doing that to offset a slowdown in sign-ups? Also, competition seems to be coming fast and furious now. Your thoughts?

Thanks

Q: It's challenging to assess the earnings of REIT's if using the distribution payouts as a base of information. It would seem logical that payouts with a high return of capital would suggest weak results, yet individual price quotes suggest often refer to low P/E's.
Or maybe it's better to compare Return on Capital vs Cost of Capital?
Thanks from Randy
