Investment Q&A

Q: Could you comment on their latest financial results.

Q: What the heck is going on with CXR?? It has tanked again today down over 16%!
Was there any News in particular that came out this morning? what is the specific reason for such a huge sell off today? I'm weary of the losses I have incurred on this position as it continues on its downtrend amidst the short sellers. I'm down over 50% and think I should throw in the towel....your thoughts on my thoughts of selling? Is there any glimmer of hope for this company in the near term?

Q: Can you comment on this article on Concordia? Thanks. http://www.businessinsider.com/concordia-international-short-thesis-2016-8

Q: Hi,

CXR continues to make new lows. It also trades on the U.S market, where U.S. investors just see a stock continually going down, and it is heavily shorted by U.S. investors. Years back, Jennifer Dowdie, then an editor for the Investors Digest, now with the
Globe & Mail, really liked Sino Forest. Hence, a lot of people owned this stock. Carson Block started shorting this stock and driving the price down... just like with valiant pharmaceuticals. Canadian analysts came on business stations and started criticizing him. In the end, just like valiant pharmaceuticals, he drove the stock way down in the case of Sino Forest right to 0. Is there going to be a time when you will tell us to cut our losses with CXR? Could you guys please do a feature on this stock and publish it? A lot of your customers have holdings in this stock.

Thank you,
Dennis

Q: A link providing some positive outlook for Concordia. I too have big loses. I kept averaging down, last time at 35 and was wondering if it's still a good idea to double down at this levels.

Anyway here is the link:

Q: Where Gilead's earnings bad enough to justify the drubbing they are Taking? Hold on to shares at this point or has something fundamentally changed?

Q: What would you expect as to the possibility of a positive return by purchasing a Jan 20 2017 CXR call with a $29.00 strike price.

Thanks for your insight.

Q: Hi
With CXR stock now under $24.00, would this be a good entry point, or do you think it can still go lower in the short term.
Thanks as always

Q: Hello team. I currently have a small position in Antibe Therapeutics and considering adding more. This is a stage 2 drug company. No profit and sales really that tie in to the real story of the drug being created at the moment. Essentially they are trying to create a pain medication that will compete with the likes of Advil/Tylenol without the negative side effects of damaging the stomach lining and creating ulcers. The most interesting component is that amount of activity of old Paladin Labs/ new Knight Therapeutics people moving in and out of the company, setting up acquisitions and financing deals. Considering you guys cover Knight I was wondering if you had any further analysis or information on Antibe or the financing deals that Knight puts together? Or perhaps you could criticize or add to my qualitative analysis for other areas I should be concerned about?

Pros:
From what I can tell it's the only other company that Johnathan Goodman holds a position in besides Knight.
In the 50% region of insider ownership.
The fact they acquired a sales force shows confidence.

Cons:
One patient got something similar to Jondis, this forced the company back to the drawing board. If the product is not considered safer than Advil, it will have a hard time selling.
Further dilution will have to occur to proceed in product testing.

Q: While I realize that no one has a crystal ball, do you have any thoughts regarding the possible timing of a possible sale of the company or, if not, a decision not to sell for that matter? I wondered if it might be around the next quarters(August 12 ) results when there may be a better understanding of the impact of Brexit on the company's finances. Or do you think that this might require another quarter or so to sort itself out? Any thoughts on the probability of a sale actually happening? At this time the market seems to be discounting any potential sale!

Q: Another 5+% decline today on no news that I'm aware of. I am now off 33% on this thing on the advice of 5I to hang in. Is this a matter of having the fortitude to stay with it thru the volatility or is the writing on the wall that it's not returning to more lofty P/S.

Q: I am wondering what would be a normal p/e for Concordia? Also perhaps you can shed some light on the difference between cash flow and levered free cash flow.I understood the latter represented the cash left over after debt obligations have been paid. With their substantial debt I expected Concordia's levered cash low to be substantially less and yet Yahoo Finance shows cash flow per share of $4.10 and levered at $6.55.
As always your assistance is greatly appreciated.
Mike

Q: Hello Peter et al
Given the history of some of PHM’s management is it possible their game plan is to take the company private within the next eighteen months or so, and then public 3 or 4 years later? Any thoughts?
Many thanks. Bob

Q: Biosyent is showing good momentum. Could you please advise if there has been any serious insider buying in the last few months?
Thank you, Peter

Q: Hi, in follow up to my previous question, what are your thoughts on these three possible additions to my TFSA. Again, in your view which two have the biggest up side potential for the next year or two? Thanks
