Q: I have a half position in PLI and, with it being down this much as of late, I am considering buying more. Looks like there may be technical support just above $2. Though the consistent downward trend is somewhat worrying. In a situation like this would you suggest waiting to see if the stock turns around a little or just buy with the understanding that the current value looks good to me. I understand the issues with trying to time something just looking for thoughts on this stock in this context. Thanks!

Q: Large-cap healthcare ETFs are giving-up their post-election bump, in some cases (for example, HHL) approaching nine-month lows. Are there any that are becoming interesting, or is this sector just too instrinsically volatile? In the past, 5i has spoken well of IHI (NYSE), do you still like it?

Q: Hello Peter,
Your thoughts on PLI here at this recent swoon. Is this tax loss selling or Pli seasonality.
I have been averaging down positions from 2.80.
The street loves this stock, INK insider report has Company director buying millions in stock on open market at 2.40 Nov 30. I am at a loss with this drop. My Alaris AD has saved my portfolio while I wait for this spec stock to run. Should just get out now before this gets worse. Broke support at 2.26 and bouncing on new ST support at 2.05.
Thank you again Cameron and Cheers from New Delhi IN. It's warm here and no snow

Q: Hi Peter, just curious why Knight would do a bought deal for a relatively low amount ($75M) vs their total available cash. Is this because they thought when the stock hit $10 that it was a great price ? Thank you, Paul
Q: Knight is hitting new highs. I woukd like to add to my position bringing it to 6 percent of my portfolio. If they buy pieces of valeant or endo I woukd imagine the street would consider a net positive for the stock. Your thoughts please.

Q: On Nov 28, a member commented on an scare-mongering article from "Frisco Fastball." Bear in mind that no human being was involved in the creation of this article (or, as far as I can tell, any other from this publisher.) Investors may indeed have sold on jitters, and FF may have been part of that dynamic, but most of its blather is transparently kooky. Smear jobs still need human trolls - at least, they do for now.
Q: just a comment on crh, i bought 25000 shares between 6.56 and 7.10 yesterday, i thought the drop was ridiculous since the target was increased from 7.00 to 8.50 by rbc and their return on equity is north of 20 per cent, also i already owned 20,000 shares at prices below 5.00.
furthermore it seems most of the selling was retail investors panicking and selling.
and if it goes lower from here i will buy even more. dave

Q: Not that you need another CRH question. So just a comment. It is interesting that it could pile up 4x average volume with only two trades as big as 10,000 shares. Jitters and shorts maybe. "Frisco Fastball" posted an extremist sounding article on Friday: "CRH Medical Corp Can't Be More Risky - Trades Significantly Lower". The almost substance-free article is accessible via Google Finance.
Q: Hi Peter,
I went over your replies with respect to CRH. RBC increased the target price. I would have expected shares to stay the same or go higher. Hence, is this just profit taking by institutions and if so, they basically control the market. What is a retail investor to do? Last week, cRH was hitting new highs and now all of a sudden drops due to RBC's call. Can you please advise on how a retail investor should react? I am thinking just stay put given CRH is doing well(based on last earnings ) and it was not a really a downgrade on the target price. Please advise.
