I think (although I'm no concrete expert) that both answers are right, but this one fits best with the rest of the text.

Thanks to both of you!

As for me asking questions, once in a while I have a puzzler, usually in French or Portuguese - many times, as in this case, non-financial stuff that pops up in a financial text.
