Investment Q&A

Q: Thinking of different options for GUD and was wondering if Goodman has the means to take it private. Your thoughts?

Q: I am tired of waiting for GUD to do something. I have 50,000 shares; what would you suggest in trying to sell these?

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

Q: What would you recommend if Mr Goodman steps down? Hold? Sell?
Thank you for your service

Q: Hi
Do you have a feel for how long a proxy fight and all the goings on at GUD will rumble on before settling down ?
You'll have had more experience with these kind of events than I have.

Thanks
Mike

Q: Do you think the proposed nomination of the new directors gets approved by share holders ?
If so, could the new board replace Mr. Goodman.
Can you elaborate as to what is most likely to happen in the next few months ?
Thanks for your advice.

Q: Medison(7.3% shareholder) is nominating 6 (qualified members per co) plus its CEO(existing director) to the board of GUD(total 7 seats).Maybe this will result in positive price action for long suffering investors who bought in the $10 range.Your comment please.Thanks for u usual great services & views

Q: what is the connection between these 2 companies?
thanks.

Q: I own 6800 shares of Knight at an average cost of $8.10. This amounts to about 2% of my portfolio. I could sell it all, sell half or do nothing. What do you see for Knight in the next 5 years. Should I be looking elsewhere? Thank You.

Q: Never fall in love with a stock, i feel i5 has on this one. Say treating it like cash for buying an idea later, why not buy a solid income stock with a good dividend and treat it as a cash account as you say, at least you are getting something. Speaking of cash rich companies, how about buying Apple and hold it for cash, and also a dividend, no shortage of cash there.

Q: To take Goodman's "grandchildren" analogy to heart, then, ... I'm assuming he's telling us to bail if we don't have grandkids? : /

What if our grandkids are already taken care of, and we'd like to see better results now?

Five years seems to be an awfully long time for compost to ferment, in my mind. I'm an organic gardener, so no disrespect intended here. ; )

Your thoughts, please, on his silly analogy. This slow-burning genius seems to be fizzling out, like a dud firecracker. Surely investors deserve a little something for being so patient -- maybe even a little respect.

Q: I hate lawsuits. Been holding Knight at a huge loss waiting for the big payday. I know you do not act as a financial advisor but would YOU hang on to your knight shares? Lawsuits take forever unless this Medison guy settles. This will distract from business at hand. Yes, no? Thanks for your views and sage advice.

Q: How much cash/share does Knight Therapeutics have? Thanks.

Q: To add to what Steven comment today on the Company. I respect M. Goodman view on the long term goals of the company. His analogy for is "grandchildren" and stockholders would make sense if at the very least a dividend would be paid for waiting.
This would a small way to compensate to the shareholders while we are supporting the company.

Q: what exactly is medison fighting for and how much of a lock does goodman have on knight.

Q: High volume at the close. My guess is insiders did the buying, if so how many days before they have to disclose ?
Also I noticed that for my last 2 questions I did not receive the answer by email but saw the answer on your site. Has something changed ?
Thanks for your help.

Q: Hi. Any news on what happened with GUD in the last 20 minutes? Thanks

Q: I have very little in the health care industry, I only own GUD at 1.5% of my portfolio. I am thinking of selling GUD and buying ZUH at say 2.5% of my portfolio. Your thoughts please. Or would you suggest some other health ETF?

Q: I completely understand your support for Johnathan Goodman at Knight as his history is beyond impressive. However, I think Mr. Jakobsohn's proposal asks some significant questions that, as a shareholder, I would like to hear answers for. It does make me uncomfortable that his family company got involved in four deals and he will benefit more than if he had Knight involved. That seems like a legitimate concern as is the puny revenues generated in four years since Knight's launch. Conversely, Knight provided Medisen the opportunity to thrive and succeed and it is not the first time I have seen beneficiaries conveniently forget who helped them become successful once they have achieved momentum and no longer need their benefactor.
Ultimately, I do hope this exercise will help Goodman see some valid points in Jakobsohn's presentation and diversify his board and spend some cash. The articles that have appeared about Goodman detail his bargaining savvy but who would want to deal with him when it is public knowledge he has a desire to buy for nothing... I wish he would forget about his famous "grandchildren" analogy and show the investors who have supported his financings and bought the stock at $10 plus that he can still discover companies with potential and make mutually beneficial deals so Knight can thrive and grow.
I doubt Jakobsohn's proposal will go anywhere but perhaps it will reinforce to Goodman that his approach could be a little more "in the present" to his many investors/supporters.
I have a bad case of FOMO when it comes to Knight. If I liquidate part or all of my shares, I stress about Goodman making a blockbuster deal the next day!!
Would you agree with anything I have said and please provide an opinion on any value in the dissenting proposal.

Thanks.

Q: In response to a recent question about GUD, you mentioned that "there is an unhappy shareholder and board member who wants some changes made at the company". Could you please provide more detail about why he/she is unhappy and what changes they would like to be made? Thank you.
