Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: If you could please comment on this U.S. company IMS Healthcare. I would greatly appreciate it. Can you classify it as tech or healthcare and how it compares to its historical data PE/PCF/PB and any other fundamental that is important to you. Would you still prefer GUD over this stock? My worry with GUD is that they do not use their cash and investors become irritated and fickle. I can benefit from IMS as it diversifies my portfolio a little more to the US.I am thinking of a 1 to 3 year hold minimum. Thank You

Q: Hi Peter and Ryan,

I'm interested in getting exposure to the health care sector by using an available ETF. I ran across this one (IHI) through my research and would appreciate your analysis of the ETF. I think this one focusses on medical devices. Please let me know what you think the future holds for the ETF. If you think there are other investments that would be preferable I would appreciate your suggestions.

Q: How do you feel about the current valuation of Biosyent? They announced yesterday that they have signed a new agreement for distribution of a cardiovascular drug that they expect will add $20M to annual revenue over time (2015 FY rev was $15.39M). Assuming they can do what they say (which they have done well at in the past) do you think the share price is reasonable? This company seems to operate with great margins and is growing with free cash flow. They have $0 in debt

Q: On Ron's question about short interest on CXRX, it is important to note the settlement date on the website is May 13. This is the same day Concordia released first quarter earnings and then the stock price has increased significantly. I suspect there was some short covering and the next update to the website for short interest will be key.

Q: I was just looking at the fundamentals provided by my on-line service CIBC Investors Edge for this company: when I look at EPS last 4 Qt it shows just over $5.00; yet, on a TTM EPS basis it shows -300%+ growth, debt to equity over 3X and negative ROE. How can you make $5.00 per share and have negative ROE: especially, when they have been making money and on a cash basis generating a ton of cash? What am I missing and is this a good stock to hold for a recovery??

Q: Hi Peter and Crew,

So enjoy your objectve answers. So valuable. Keep up the great work.

For better or worse, I am a patient investor. I also buy on all time highs. Sometimes I sell on mental stops. I was able to catch the wave on PHM through 2014 and 2015 adding at new highs and sold most of my position sometime into the decline. Did "awesome."

I have consulted your database of questions on PHM. Based on the answers I am considering adding to my small position, based on the likelyhod of a recovery (although I would expect years for this to happen). The 10 year chart also gives me confidence. My strategy would be to add incrementally in small amounts and only add more if the equity proves itself by heading up.

Do you think the time is "close to right" to start to pull the triger ?

Thanks so much !!!
