Q: Hello. Further to the Walmart deal, are there any one way limitations built into this deal prohibiting SHOP from pursuing similar deals with other large retailers? If not, does this serve as something of a template for future deals, or is this a one-off because of Walmart's specific attempt to grow its web presence? Any other details or thoughts on how this specific deal affects SHOP would be appreciated. Thank-you.

Q: What, if any, impact to Primo do you see from Nestle's announced explorations into getting out of the water business in N America? During the Cott-to-Primo business transition, Primo's financial statements are rather more difficult to digest, but at the very least, Primo doesn't seem to have the capability to buy much of the Nestle water business. What other companies might benefit from Nestle's divestiture, and how might that affect Primo?
Deduct credits as required for multiple questions. Thanks.

Q: What's up with WSP? It held up quite well since March but after
issuing some financing a little while ago it slipped back and seems to be languishing, even during the run up prior to Thursday. What was the financing for? Was it a prudent time to do that? There had been some mention of a merger with a US entity; was the financing related to that and is that going ahead? And last, where do you see this equity going from here. Thanks for your excellent service.

Q: I wonder if you can point to an article or other guidance on what key metrics to look at and how to interpret them for a stock. Being relatively new, I tend to look mostly at profitability and revenue growth on a go/no-go basis when looking at a company in the absence of other info (ie 5i recommendations). Using REAL as an example, total after tax profitability is only 9% and 3 yr revenue growth is a tepid 8% and falling from a 5yr rate of 17%. These numbers are underwhelming compared to other co's, so I must be missing something with a company like REAL, and would like to learn how to see a little deeper.
