Q: AGN has received a $188.24/s stock+cash offer from ABBV, yet (pre-market) its shares aren't breaking above $173. In this sort of situation, isn't it more typical for the share price to overshoot the offer (given the chance of another bid)? Or is the market doubtful that any deal will be completed?

Q: Hi 5i,
I have some USD set aside to purchase Pfizer (PFE:US) and have a window of up until about Aug.5th give or take, having missed the latest dividend. So, I am in no real hurry. My question is: should I just proceed and purchase now or wait to see if there is any kind of pull-back presenting a better entry point between now and August? I see it has continued to grind higher over the past while.
Your thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks!!
Cheers,
Mike

Q: As the opportunity arises, I need to lessen my overweight position in SIS. Would SYK be an attractive substitute in a sector that, like SIS, is right for the times as the general population ages and are increasingly in deteriorating physical shape. Is there any other company with these dynamics that I should look at?

Q: Last question on this company dates back to 2017. It has had a nice ride up; but is currently taking an ugly and fast ride down. Down 15% for me in about 1 week alone. My “rules” say sell! Should I? Or can hanging in anticipation of a turnaround be justified?

What does the future look like for this company based on your analysis?

Thanks.

Q: While the market remains buoyant, Knight's CEO seems to be remaining patient for a major reset bringing potential buyout company prices spiralling downward. I am ok with that but he seems to have laid an egg with TherapeuticsMD by paying $20M for rights to just two of their drugs for Canada and Israel plus buying $20M of stock at $5.10 and is now down over 40% in a short time frame. What do you think of this deal and the potential of these drugs? It was, at least, good to see one company pay for rights to the rest of the world outside the US. Are they a legitimate partner?
Thanks.

Q: I don’t like to add to my losers but the price drop of SIS makes it tempting. The stock is still an expensive one but do you think the dividend will start to give it some support? I’m concidering bringing this back up to a 2.5% position as I feel there’s lots of growth potential and I have a long time horizon.
