Q: Following close scrutiny of the available information to date, I have decided to support Johnathan Goodman in his battle with Medison. This is essentially a war between two men as no one else at Knight or Medison has more than 35000 shares (one person) and the rest have basically none. Goodman has double the number as Medison. I predict Goodman will add to his position before May 7 - he could afford as many shares as he wants/needs to succeed.
However, kudos to Jakobsohn, despite my extreme cynicism towards his motives - he will control the 28% of his company that knight owns plus get control of almost $800M in cash that he did NOT raise, Goodman did - as this process has unquestionably devalued Goodman's reputation and I am sure he will be working at full potential to restore it and long before his tired grandchildren timeline evolves. When/if he wins, he could do a $2B deal the next day as raising any extra funds would receive widespread market support. Can Jakobsohn claim the same?

Q: Like many long suffering investors, I am really getting fed up with this stock. I watched a recent interview on BNN with Jonathan Goodman and was not impressed. He had an opportunity to justify why GUD was a public company and completely failed to do so. His message seemed to be if you are not investing for your grandchildren's financial future you might as well forget this stock. I think GUD should at least initiate an initial and rising dividend policy since it has failed to invest much of the large pool of cash being reserved for acquisitions. What do you think of these odds. Thanks.

Q: Cormark Securities analyst David McFadgen dropped his target for Great Canadian Gaming Corp. (GC-T), calling its financial disclosures related to its Greater Toronto Area (GTA) “troubling developments.” With a “reduce” rating, his target dipped to $41 from $44. The average on the Street is $56.80.

What are the financial disclosures that McFadgen is referring to?

Q: I was surprised with a previous question “What would you recommend if Mr Goodman steps down? Hold? Sell?”
My impression is that he has no intention and there is no indication that he will “step down.” Am I missing something?
From what I have read it also appears that it is unlikely that Medison will succeed in forcing him to step down.
Attached a recent article in the globe. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-knight-therapeutics-ceo-addresses-dissident-shareholders-proxy-fight/
In your opinion do you agree that Goodman will stay in control and get shareholder’s support?
Thanks
John
