Q: Follow-up on my earlier post today relevant to a possible reason for COVALON's 10% jump in stock price: The Zacks report a COV director sent to investors this morning (as an email attachment) is dated: March 18, 2019, and was authored by Brian Marckx, CFA, with Zacks Small Cap Research. While there may be an old Zacks report out there, this one appears to be new.

Q: Jeffrey Mandel (a director on Covalon's Board) sent one of his periodic e-mails directly to COV investors. Today's message included a PDF attachment of a 25pp research document COV apparently commissioned from Zacks Small Cap Research in Chicago. Unsurprisingly, the analysis is glowing, which stated, in part, "We forecast Covalon to generate revenue and EPS of C$53.4M and C$0.13 in 2019 and C$64.5M and C$0.30 in 2020. We value Covalon using a combination of P/S and P/E methodologies. Based on analyst's revenue and EPS estimates of publicly traded companies in focused on wound care and medical supplies, infection control and vascular products, we calculate fair value of Covalon at ~C$11.2/share, or US$8.50 based on current exchange rates."

Q: Never fall in love with a stock, i feel i5 has on this one. Say treating it like cash for buying an idea later, why not buy a solid income stock with a good dividend and treat it as a cash account as you say, at least you are getting something. Speaking of cash rich companies, how about buying Apple and hold it for cash, and also a dividend, no shortage of cash there.

Q: To take Goodman's "grandchildren" analogy to heart, then, ... I'm assuming he's telling us to bail if we don't have grandkids? : /

What if our grandkids are already taken care of, and we'd like to see better results now?

Five years seems to be an awfully long time for compost to ferment, in my mind. I'm an organic gardener, so no disrespect intended here. ; )

Your thoughts, please, on his silly analogy. This slow-burning genius seems to be fizzling out, like a dud firecracker. Surely investors deserve a little something for being so patient -- maybe even a little respect.

Q: Cipher's quarterly report highlights transitions and strategic positioning for long term growth, also debt reduction. Their list of 2018 year end highlights appears impressive but does it read that way to you? This company looks busy for their size but what significants do you take from the list of 2019 anticipated milestones? Would you dip a toe in here? Finally how similar are CPH and GUD in strategic growth plans?
