Q: If you could please comment on this U.S. company IMS Healthcare. I would greatly appreciate it. Can you classify it as tech or healthcare and how it compares to its historical data PE/PCF/PB and any other fundamental that is important to you. Would you still prefer GUD over this stock? My worry with GUD is that they do not use their cash and investors become irritated and fickle. I can benefit from IMS as it diversifies my portfolio a little more to the US.I am thinking of a 1 to 3 year hold minimum. Thank You

Q: Good Afternoon,
I see that you recently answered a question on the $200MM bought deal today, I would just like to expand on this a bit please. I recall when Avigilon did this a few years ago, they already had ample cash on the balance sheet with no debt but took advantage of their high share price to issue shares and raise capital. You had mentioned at the time that they likely had a large acquisition in mind but they never really did deploy that excess cash with one single large takeover that I recall. Of course AVO has unperformed and acting poorly ever since. Any read through on GUD? They now have approximately 75% of their market cap as cash, seems awfully high with now 25% more shares outstanding. Doesn't seem to make much sense? Any further thoughts? Thank-you.

Q: I am sitting on the sidelines with well over 6 figures intended for the oil patch. However, I have decided to wait a little longer based on current prices and/or conditions. In the interim I was contemplating parking funds into GUD based primarily on your very positive opinion of the CEO as well as the companies excellent Balance Sheet notwithstanding the current stock price which is currently flat from last year at this time. Your comments are appreciated. Thank you.
