                  PREC14A preliminary proxy statement filing made on Schedule
14A
                  Filed on April 11, 2018 by Kanen Wealth Management, et al.
                  File No. 001-37515

  Dear Mr. Kanen:

          We have reviewed the above-captioned filing, and have the following
comments. Some
  of our comments may ask for additional information so that we may better
understand the
  disclosure.

         Please respond to this letter by amending the filing and/or by
providing the requested
  information. If you do not believe our comments apply to your facts and
circumstances and/or
  do not believe an amendment is appropriate, please tell us why in a written
response.

          After reviewing any amendment to the filing and any information
provided in response to
  these comments, we may have additional comments.

  General

  1. The letter addressed to stockholders accounts for the anticipated date
upon which the
     participants expect to "furnish" the proxy statement to stockholders.
Please revise to include
     this representation within the proxy statement, a defined term under Rule
14a-1(g), as
     distinguished from the voluntary correspondence with stockholders. Refer
to Rule 14a-6(d).

  2. Please advise us, with a view toward revised disclosure, how exactly the
proxy statement will
     be furnished to stockholders. Refer to Rule 14a-3, Rule 14a-4(f), and Rule
14a-16.

Reasons for the Solicitation, page 6

3. Each statement or assertion of opinion or belief must be clearly
characterized as such, and a
   reasonable factual basis must exist for each such opinion or belief. Support
for opinions or
   beliefs should be self-evident, disclosed in the proxy statement or provided
to the staff on a
   supplemental basis. Accordingly, please provide your basis for your
statements at the bottom
   of page 6 that board members of companies that are the size of Aqua Metals
"typically make
   $25,000 to $40,000" and that earning approximately $150,000 is "unusual and
excessive."

Proposal No. 1   Election of Directors, page 12

4. Advise us, with a view towards disclosure, whether election of a majority or
more of your
   director nominees will result in a change of control as defined under any of
the registrant's
   organizational documents, executive compensation arrangements, or debt
instruments.

Additional Participant Information, page 19

5. The disclosure indicates each participant may be deemed to beneficially own
the 2,6060,878
   shares of common stock owned in the aggregate by all of the participants by
virtue of their
   membership in a group as determined under  13(d)(3). Please provide us with
a legal
   analysis in support of this conclusion. Alternatively, please remove the
implication that
   membership in a group, alone and without more, results in the beneficial
ownership held by
   each group member being attributed to all members of the group. Application
of Rule 13d-
   5(b), titled "Acquisition of securities," only results in an acquisition, by
operation of law, by
   the group  designated as a single, new person under  13(d)(3)  of its
members securities.

        We remind you that the participants are responsible for the accuracy
and adequacy of
their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of
action by the staff.

       You may contact Joseph McCann, Attorney-Advisor, at (202) 551-6262 or me
at (202)
551-3266 with any questions.

                                                              Sincerely,

                                                              /s/ Nicholas P.
Panos

                                                              Nicholas P. Panos
                                                              Senior Special
Counsel
                                                              Office of Mergers
& Acquisitions
