Canfor has a current ratio of 2.03, suggesting that it is liquid and has the ability to pay its financial obligations in time and when they become due. Debt can assist Canfor until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Canfor's shareholders could walk away with nothing if the company can't fulfill its legal obligations to repay debt. However, a more frequent occurrence is when companies like Canfor sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Canfor to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Canfor's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.

If you don't do this, your portfolio allocation will be skewed against your target asset allocation. So, investors can't just sell and buy back Canfor - that would be a violation of the tax code under the "wash sale" rule, and this is why you need to find a similar enough asset and use the proceeds from selling Canfor to buy it.

This measure is expressed in what is known as the correlation coefficient, which ranges between -1 and +1.

Alternatively, perfect negative correlation means that if Canfor moves in either direction, the perfectly negatively correlated security will move in the opposite direction. If the correlation is 0, the equities are not correlated; they are entirely random. A correlation greater than 0.8 is generally described as strong, whereas a correlation less than 0.5 is generally considered weak.
