Q: In one of your comment on GPS you mention " While the quarter was not great, GPS has spent the majority of the year investing in its business (Mobi, expanding sales force), trading profitability 'today' for growth 'tomorrow', and we are in 'wait and see' mode as mgmt executes its growth strategy. The stock now trades at a P/S of 1.6x.
Would you wait now for a few quarters to see how the earnings are before buying?

Q: Noted Peter's two top picks earlier this week , ECN and SHOP.
The stories may sound good but could you comment on the fundamentals on both of these companies.
ECN, reduced revenue in 2/3 last quarters and EPS down in past two quarters, increase in diluted shares in past year. Balance sheet looks iffy with increasing debt.
SHOP, net income down, eps down, negative free cash flow, negative ROE, negative ROIC., but nice balance sheet with lots of cash.
If these are top picks , why are neither owned by guest, households, investment banker clients or guest firm or affiliates as indicated on disclosure at end of top picks?
Thanks
Jeff

Q: Does TOY make most of their sales during the Christmas period? I am doing well on TOY (thanks to 5i) and while I am a long-term investor, I am wondering if you might be able to prepare me as to what the stock might do post Christmas. Does the share price reflect TOY as a year-round entity or has it possibly been bid up by investors that are mainly betting on next quarter's results, after which they would dump the stock?

Appreciate your insight.
