Q: In a response to Bob today you stated: "We might consider KXS, BOX and NVDA in the group as well, with the former two much riskier than the others." Given that you have made positive comments on KXS lately, even recommended it on 1 May along with CSU and SIS as a choice for a longer term buy, I am wondering why you suggest today that it is a "risky" stock.

Q: Regarding BXE, how does the news of their conversion of debt to common stock affect the future of the company? I know your past comments referred to the company as small and heavily in debt. Would it fit in the speculative portion of a portfolio? Do you think it will survive?
Thank You.
