Q: What is your opinion on Abbot Labs? It has gone down steadily for the last year and I doubt whether it will do any recovering before the election - or even after whoever gets in. Yet it seems the analysts are giving it a positive rating. Thanks guys.

Q: Hello, I am wondering where you guys can put the floor price for that stock (where is become so cheap that big investors will buy the stock) considering the fact that it seems that there is no institutional appetite for that stock even if it is falling like a rock and become cheaper...
The apparent "cheap" valuation of the company at this point does not seem to attract any big players and even if I believe in the company's potential.
I am scratching my head due to the fact that there is actually mostly short sellers attracted to the stock and as the share price keep falling, the company seems less and less it seems to me that the company lost control of its own destiny.

Q: I would appreciate your opinion on which sector CSH.un is in.
The Globe and Mail has it listed in the healthcare sector. That makes some sense given the demographic of its clientele. However, other sources list it in the REIT sector. It makes some sense that it would be sensitive to the housing sector (i.e. if house prices fall, fewer seniors will be able to sell their houses to move into retirement homes.)
With respect to my attempt to be diversified across the 11 sectors, which sector would you place CSH.un in?
Thanks so much!

Q: Ron's comment made mention of the fact that a short interest approaching 25% of the float should raise red flags. Can you explain this?

Q: As a follow-up to CXR, I believe the uncertainty of the Brexit vote is also impacting share price, since AMCO is based out of the UK. Word on the street is any offer from Apollo Global Management is depenent on Brexit not going through. We may not see any recovery in share price until after the vote.
Regardless of the above, the uncertainty offers yet another opportunity to acquire CXR shares at a very attractive valuation (considering management offered good guidance at the last earnings call).

Q: Just a follow up on your answer to Neil's question about Concordia.
My theory is that the short interests are killing them. The latest data issued show yet another increase pushing them close to 25% of the float. I believe your opinion was anything around this mark raises red flags.

Q: Do you have a theory on why CXR is testing its 52 week lows again? It seems extremely cheap and even without a potential buyout, is generating good EPS every quarter. I would like to buy more, but I am already over weight - so I am patiently waiting for it to go back up! Thanks, Neil
Q: How serious do you think the market's reaction will be to the company's latest press release which said, in part, - " Theratechnologies inc. (TSX:TH) regretfully announces that the Government of Quebec, the province where EGRIFTA ® was discovered, has refused to add it to the list of reimbursed medications." ?
Thank you for your valued opinion.

Q: Could you please provide your updated opinion on Trillium Therapeutics? It is an early stage company in the very important area of new Cancer drugs, and looks like they are getting good early results. Is it way too early to invest in a company like this, or is it something that could qualify as part of a growth portfolio?
Q: Could I please have your opinion on CXV now that the share price has been beaten down. Could you also tell me the short report also. Thanks
Q: Hi,
Based on other questions asked, I see you aren't recommending Buying PHM anytime soon. I have more frustration with this company than AVO and AYA combined.
Can you enlighten me on how a company like this gets a "2015 TSX Venture 50 Company" designation on TMX Money? The whole concept of the company seems like a sure win, but it keeps going the wrong direction. My loss is so great on this one, it's not even worth selling because it's near worthless. Also, do you feel there is some light at the end of this tunnel say 2-3 years from now? What could help turn it around?

Q: Biogen has had a significant drop in share price over the last year. With another 12% dip on Tuesday do you think this would be a good time to start a position on this company?
Q: It's being reported that Apollo Global Mgmt has submitted a bid for CXR. Will the company release details of the bid, and if so, how soon?
Q: What would be your position on buying PHM at this 52 week low for a longer term hold. Thanx Robbie
Q: Hello, I have been reading your comments on Savaria Corp with interset, for a few months and decided to initiate a small position this week. Companies supporting aging demographics should continue to do well, but SIS is still fairly small cap and valuation appears rich. Stock also had a decent run lately, so it could tread water for a while. I would rather wait a few more quarters, before adding at today's price. What are your thoughts ? Thanks

Golden Predator (GPY)
Thanks a lot. Yasmin
