Q: I looked at PUR, liked the business, but found it pricey and chose to wait. A bad call I suppose. I realize Xylem will realize cost savings on the acquisition, and will no doubt see opportunities to expand PUR's business within its portfolio, but please help me understand something. I estimate Xylem is paying over 20 times PUR's expected 2017 EBITDA. I thought 10 to 11 times was "high". Isn't $9.00 exceptionally pricey? What can I take away from this? Thank you for your time. Edward.

Q: Hello Peter and Team,
I do like BCI quite a bit as people need glasses. It's one of those boring areas of the market that is a necessity. A couple questions though:
Would BCI be considered a staple or a discretionary stock? I feel like it should be a staple as vision is not something I would forgo.
As well, in your report there isn't any mention of how laser surgery is affecting a market. I do know quite a few people that have undergone laser surgery and who widely recommend it to others. How much is laser surgery affecting the marketplace? And how is cheap alternatives online affecting the marketplace?
Thank you for your great service as always!

Q: Just a note of thanks for your service. The take-over of PUR today is another reminder as to why I subscribe. This is a company that I doubt I would have come across on my own and it's turned in to a big win in my portfolio.
Q: I like KXS but am concerned over its valuation. Its price is very high in comparison to other software companies. Given your past recommendations for KXS, what justifies the premium over say something like CSU?
Thanks for all you do.

Q: PLI made a,nice move today. My cost is 1.98. Should i sell?
Q: Why would Sylogist not graduate to the TSE in order to get better exposure? And would you consider syz in the saas area as CSU, DSG and Kinaxis. And would they rank last and would they be an attractive takeover target by a bigger company.
Q: Earlier today you suggested a hold for now. In that another offer is a slim hope and therefore there is little room for any more appreciation why not sell now and put the money some where with more potential? Thanks
Q: Great news with Pure Technologies. What is the expected date for this deal to close?
Q: I have PUR in a non registered account. With the acquisition by an American company, for tax purposes would it be best to just sell at the higher price (to avoid US paper work)?
