Another question about CXR. What are your overall thoughts of the company after the latest deal? It seems like the company is trying to duplicate what Valeant has done with aggressive growth through acquisition. Do you believe in the management team enough to be able to execute this strategy? And with regards to the share issue, when will the price of the issue be decided? Do you see it as a buy today, or would you wait until the issue?
Q: I am looking to add a full position in a large healthcare stock (already have small positions in NVO.US, GUD, PHM & CSH.UN) Do you prefer Concordia or Valiant after the recent acquisitions? Or should I head to the US for healthcare?
Thanks for your help - since subscribing to your service, I have a more balanced portfolio and better returns as a result.
Q: In part of your response to Graeme, earlier today, in regard to Concordia, you stated, "The equity deal allows current shareholders to sell and replace their shares with the financing (at a lower price)."
??????
Confused here.
As a current shareholder of CXR, how does this affect me? I am in for the long haul and have learned to live with the volatility, but I'm at a loss to know if anything needs to be done here.
Thanks for clearing this up, because everything is very muddy right now.
Thanks, as always, for your great service -- especially to those, like me, who are "challenged" when it comes to "investor-speak".
Q: Can you comment on CXR press release this morning on their acquisition? I'm underweight in this sector and want to add CXR depending on your feedback. Do you typically wait (a few days?)for the market to digest the news before buying? Thanks again - John.
Q: How would you feel about buying IBB on this recent pullback? Already have CXR and PHM in the space. Or would you prefer IWO as a way to pick up a growthy etf at these lower levels? Already have VUN for broad U.S. exposure. How high of a weighting for either would you go up to for a young investor with a long timeframe? Cheers
They did an offering a bit before the fuss.
1. Was the offering @ $1.50?
2. I believe there were restrictions on selling which I believe come off September 8. Is this correct?
3. Is it likely that some who bought the offering would be upset enough to sell at that time even though at a loss?
4. If they are selling, is it likely they would sell the first day possible or try to spread it out?
Q: Dear Gentlemen,
if you cover Nobilis Health Corp. what is your opinion on this company,
also on the Health Care and Health Sciences Sector in general?
What is your research on Manulife Financial (MFC.TO)?
Would it be a good time to buy now? Thank you.
Q: My impression of the conference call is that:
1) they apologized and took responsibility for the meltdown but did not offer details as to what the original two still own, possibly because of legal advice or they just think it's been beaten to death.
2) the questions from three analysts - Mackie, Beacon and a third I didn't hear - were soft and supportive so, at least, they have not given up on this company and, in fact, congratulated the team on the latest acquisition.
3) the new people in charge will no longer promote LOI's but will only announced signed acquisitions while implementing new strategies to cross-sell in a more complete and continuing fashion with methods that were previously successful at Sleep Management.
4) Overall, there was an underlying sense that they know they made a massive error in judgement and who knows who benefited as the share price lately may prove to be a gift when you can buy a stock for 50 percent off when fundamentals haven't changed (forgive my cynicism but some made a lot of money on this charade and, I admit, I bought quite a few shares at around seventy cents) but the underlying theme that surfaced from each of four speakers is that they now know it's time to stop blowing their horn and get down to building a solid, profitable business in a $250B market and let their results speak for themselves. As John Templeton was famous for saying - "well done is better than well said".
I am sticking with them and in three years this will be a five dollar stock, in my view.
Thanks for the opportunity to provide some insight.
Steven
Q: After backing off from it's highs this stock has commenced moving up aagain on considerable volume. Any observations, updates given the recent move?
Q: Read your comments today re: the 6/30 quarter for PHM. However, since these statements are only INTERNAL, I would appreciate your opinion as to their veracity since the erstwhile Principals leave me somewhat uneasy and skeptical. Thank you.
