Nothing personal but I just don’t like it when the CEO/Chairman/President is also acting as the CFO and collecting a big enough paycheck for all of the positions. The number of acquisitions makes it a little difficult to see how well they will pay off. The current P/E is relatively high versus competitors along with the $230mil. in convertible debt makes me believe that Roper will underperform over the foreseeable future.
