Q: Hello 5i,
can you help explain the fundamental service offering differences between these two companies. In my view they seem to be direct competitors to one another with little to differentiate them. Is the revenue model different between the two? What did PHM do to fall from grace? Which one would you invest in for a long term hold?
thanks

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
