Investment Q&A

Q: Hi
I have held Endo since the Pallidan buyout and it has been quite good to me, however I'm wondering if it's maybe time to move on as it's fundamentals seem to have stalled. Would very much appreciate your opinion.
Thank you

Q: Guys,

Great service, I've only been a subscriber for a few days but have got more out of this then any other newsletter/board I've ever found. My question is on Biosyent- within the past week a second analyst has began covering the stock and has in my opinion very low EPS/Revenue estimates for 2016. Do you know who recently picked up coverage and what reasons they gave for estimates significantly below Cantor's? Thank you!

Q: Given your endorsement of J. Goodman's ability and based on my research to confirm same, for high risk speculative plays I have essentially copied Goodman by taking positions in CRH earlier this year and PDP recently and before its increase. Like Goodman I took profits on CRH - as it turns out a little early but still a very healthy (no pun) return. For PDP I now have significant paper gains. I appreciate Goodman is principally lending to these smaller companies and I find GUD's strategy in this regard intriguing. Are you aware of other pharma companies that GUD has also financed or plans to finance? I will likely take gains on PDP but I would appreciate any insight you could offer on the recent spike and significant increase in volume. I only have a small position in this one, even after the spike, and I don't need the money. It goes without saying that your independent informed view is greatly valued. Thanks!!!

Q: Good morning,

Can you please provide your latest thoughts/opinion on RVX as a speculative investment.Recently the stock has been behaving very well from a technical perspective on a significant increase in volume.
In your opinion is it worth taking a small position at this time?
As always, thanks for your unbiased perspective.

Q: I've looked on SEDAR for information on the purchase of Catamaran by United Health. Everything I've read gives the purchase price in US$. Nothing I've read says anything about the TSX-traded shares. Should I infer that, in the event the deal goes through, CA$-purchased shares would be exchanged for US$ - with a currency-conversion hit - such that it were preferable to journal one's holdings in a US$ account? Is there a general rule about this sort of thing? Thanks.

Q: I would appreciate your thoughts on the management of this company. Have you met with them and do they have the people to grow this business and attract market interest?

Q: I'm pushing the edge with this question (so feel free to reject it) but do you have a US stock you like, with a decent dividend and some potential for growth? I'm sitting on US cash that I'd like to use for dividend income over the medium term, but would like to see a bit of growth when I cash it out. Thanks!

Q: I have a large position in this company and because of the share price increase its now 15% of my portfolio. I have done a lot of due diligence. Normally I don't allow one holding to have this much weight but I have found that there are rare instances where I am prepared to hold my position. I recognize that everyone has a different comfort level but is there ever a case where you would allow this great a weighting?

Q: would like a comment on today's 1Q15 sales,eps and outlook. thanks

Q: Got an analyist upgrade to-day.Your thoughts on this company please.Thanks.

Q: I'm looking to add a growth name in healthcare. I already own GUD from the growth portfolio. Would you recommend PLI, PHM, or QHR (or even PEO). I am also debating CXR for larger size and stability, but have a hard time jumping in after watching it run up so much the past little while.

Thanks,

Jordan

Q: Peter have just sold my Catamaran...am looking to stay in the same sector I already own GUD + PHM + MRE...do you have any suggestions. Staying with a health care provider would be first choice (I think) I am about 4% invested in the sector.

Q: Merus made a move yesterday involving 60 million dollars. Do you see this as a good move and is it worth adding stock to my position?

Thanks, Charlie

Q: I have a question regarding the recently upsized bought deal of $58.5M. In the past, I have felt as though many "upsized" deals come about due to external demand and promotion by the underwriting syndicate to company management. This can be a negative as the incremental capital raised likely has no immediate place to go(otherwise, why not start at the higher sized offering to begin with...), and this can result in shareholder dilution.

I realize PHM is a role up company and currently on an acquisition spree so this may not apply to them but what do you make of this increased deal size? I worry about all the extra dilution.

Thanks.

Q: Hi folks,can please get update on Merus labs and finace @ $3.05,where would u rank the stock in relation to other Cdn biotech comps;buy,hold or sell.Thanks as always jb

Q: Would you recommend GUD over CXR for a 5-7 year hold? I feel like I might be chasing CXR at this point and that GUD has more upside (with the risk of being a smaller cap).

Thanks, Neil

Q: Hi team, Pls. comment on the bot deal of $36M @ a price of $1.50. I've been wanting to buy PHM, but it kept going up....would today be a good time to buy and should we expect it to go down to the $1.50 price?

Thanks a lot!

Q: I recently bought Cipher on its pullback. ? thoughts on today's announced acquisition of US private pharmaceutical Innocutis. Market seems to like it a lot.
Thanks

Q: I notice this Co. on the new highs list.
May I have your opinion please.

Q: Three insiders have bought recently, but it has no revenue and is only in phase two trials. Do they have enough money to continue, or is this just a hope that someone will buy them? If it works, they're worth a fortune.
