In the same way, it shows a return on shareholders' equity (ROE) of 0.1176 %, implying that it generated $0.1176 on every 100 dollars invested. Shaw Communications' management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Shaw Communications manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
Shaw Communications Class has 5.57 B in debt with debt to equity (D/E) ratio of 0.94, which is OK given its current industry classification.

Note however, debt could still be an excellent tool for Shaw to invest in growth at high rates of return.

The ability to find closely correlated positions to Shaw Communications could be a great tool in your tax-loss harvesting strategies, allowing investors a quick way to find a similar-enough asset to replace Shaw Communications when you sell it. 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 Shaw Communications - 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 Shaw Communications Class to buy it.
The correlation of Shaw Communications is a statistical measure of how it moves in relation to other instruments. This measure is expressed in what is known as the correlation coefficient, which ranges between -1 and +1. A perfect positive correlation (i.e., a correlation coefficient of +1) implies that as Shaw Communications moves, either up or down, the other security will move in the same direction. Alternatively, perfect negative correlation means that if Shaw Communications Class 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.
