Q: When is SHOP next reporting? I believe it's this week but not sure. In a previous question, the general expected numbers were 26c and 2.34b. What does 5i expect? What might result in SHOP beating numbers and conversely missing? Its getting beaten down today on fairly heavy volume (Tuesday late afternoon) and has been weak the past while. Is this just SHOP being volatile or could the market know something?

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?
