Q: A follow-up regarding the senior notes announced today at 9.5%.

Per http://concordiarx.com/concordia-provides-update-on-amco-financing-and-capital-structure-post-amco-acquisition/ , the maximum blended interest rate (including the new $790m of senior notes) is 7.25%. Therefore, if I'm understanding correctly, the senior notes announced today aren't priced any higher than CXR was expecting them to be on Oct. 15.

Q: Hello Team,
there have been more than enough inquiries about this company, here is another. Today, a 'Marketwatch' article indicated that the company has now determined the issue of unsecured senior notes of US$790m at 9.5%. There appears to be a negativity about the company and its difficulties in financing the acquisition. Would you be able to find out with respect to short sellers whether the stock suffers from serious manipulation? And if so, why is there no news from the company?
Communication should be key!
Thanks

Q: What's your take on the recent press release by Concordia regarding the offering of senior notes?

http://concordiarx.com/concordia-healthcare-announces-pricing-of-offering-of-senior-notes/

CXR seems to be conducting business as usual, getting deals done and closing the AMCo acquisition. The continued hammering of the share price is baffling.

Q: CXR hit $35. I have two questions. First, Jason Donville said that he called brokers and was told that a lot of the shares were owned on margin. Can we trust it is true and can we verify this using a bloomberg terminal or website? If not, it seems like a good way for a portfolio manager like him to encourage us to buy the "bag holders". Secondly, there is news today about Concordia offering "senior notes". Is there something not to like there? I don't know what "senior notes" are. Thank you!

Q: Is CXR a compelling buy yet or stay away? I have been holding off adding to have a full weighting in my position. The financing terms were obviously unfavorable based on the plunge today but at least it's done. My cost is substantially higher. what are your thoughts?

Thank you

Q: Hello Peter,
This is just and example but wanted your opinion. If you had 20k and the amount represented 5% of the portfolio, how much would you put into the 4 stocks: cxr, vrx, phm, nhc. I was thinking 10k cxr, 5k vrx, 2.5k phm, and 2.5k nhc. Appreciate your comments.

Q: Cummins appears to have a strong balance sheet and excellent dividend growth but it's down quite a bit in price. Would CMI-N be a good long term value buy or is this one a falling knife?

Q: I know, another PHM question...

In 2015 they acquired $161 million in businesses:
- Black Bear Medical = $10.3 M
- West Home Health Care = $14.2 M
- Legacy Oxygen = $4.2 M
- Sleep Management = $98 M
- Patient Aids = $34.3 M

In addition, their pre-2015 businesses were generating $35 million in revenue and $8.8 million in EBITDA.

The market value of PHM is now $117 million.

Assuming they didn't overpay for the 2015 acquisitions, I'm just wondering how there could be downside concerns, beyond the short-term, from here? Thanks
