Q: I sold SBUX to take a capital loss and bought CMG as a proxy. After comparing growth projections and balance sheets I am wondering if I should bother buying back Starbucks after 30 days or just keep Chipotle. SBUX looks cheaper but maybe cheap for a reason. Can you please compare the two and provide your thoughts as to which one would be better for a long term hold?

Q: Your thoughts about a new position in either rrsp or tfsa for 3/5 years in this volatile environment ?
Thank you for such a great service to us all.

Q: A Market Call guest, Gordon Reid, was very negative on SBUX, saying that they are wrong to borrow money to buy back stock. I disagree. With a return on assets of 14% and a dividend that is well covered by earnings, I would argue that loading the balance sheet with low-cost debt to maximize return on equity is a sound strategy. Who's right?
