Investment Q&A

Q: The worst kept secret is that GUD wants to buy Paladin Labs back from ENDP. As ENDP continues to get crushed by its debt and seemingly more desperate by the day, I would assume that this puts GUD is a better position with each passing moment.
If this is the case, shouldn’t that make GUD more valuable?

Q: i bave large positions in both companies.
gsy is cheap, beats earnings every quarter, increase their dividend, return on equity approaching 30% , target increased to 85, yet does not seem to get much love.
lspd is a momentum stock increasing revenue by huge amounts, everyone loves the company, no earnings.
i know completely different companies but why such a discrepancy. is it because gsy is a subprime lender.

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
SOX hitting a new low. Is it a buy or hold at this price? Or is it a value trap? Thanks for your opinion!

Q: I looked at Morningside Quant Reports Thompson Reuters Reports and other stats on the above stocks and found the following:
TSGI. 16% Discount Undervalued. PEG .47 Moderate Buy/Buy ratings from 6 analysts

NFI. 26% Discount Undervalued 9X P/E Moderate Buy/Buy Rating 6.2% Yield , 4 analysts

COV. 47% Discount Undervalued. 0 analysts

MX. Significantly Undervalued 7.5 P/E., PEG .11 Moderate Buy/ Hold Rating, 4.34% Yield, 9 Analysts.

SU. 21% Discount, Significantly Undervalued 10.5 P/E, 7.24 PEG, Moderate Buy/Buy Rating 4.44% Yield 15 Analysts

PHO. 35% Discount, Undervalued. 15.2 P/E, Strong Buy/Buy Rating, 3 analysts.

What value do you place on Quantitative Reports as compared to other analyses? How useful are they? Are the above stocks overdone on the downside primarily due to recent global markets uncertainty or because of their own performance. The above stocks seem to have been severely re-evaluated. The idea of exiting a falling position is to eventually replace it with a position with better upside and less risk which seems to be the challenging bit. Your comments and opinions please.
