Q: Do you regret of not having Stars Group and Andrew Peller back in the portfolios this year with their very positive performances? In addition, on my question of the best inversed (betting on the stock market going down) ETF, what is SH in your answer?

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.

Q: I am investing the 52000 plus whatever the amount is for 2018 in my wife's TFSA. With a 10-15 year time-frame might I be considering a couple of quality ETF's or would you advise the purchase of 5 or 6 quality stocks? What might you suggest to consider? She does like the Dollarama idea which you recently recommended. Also would you recommend holding off until the new year to get the ball rolling or invest now? Thanks
