Q: Thanks for your reply to my Knight Therapeutics question. Can you be more specific about
two parts:
1) Do small shareholders in GBT have to sell?
2) The stock price is surprisingly weak - do you think medisen is selling now to fund their share re-purchase or can you speculate any reason why selling is going on now after waiting so long for a big, non-dilutive cash purchase? It is a big surprise to me.
That's it.
Thank you.

Q: I haven't seen too many company purchases similar to GUD buying GBT. Is it unusual to take out the major shareholders then individuals and will small shareholders be forced to sell?
The purchase was paid in cash with no dilution, Medisen is paying $77M for their shares, GUD will have well over $300M left plus any Biotoscana profits from Nov. 29 and, yet the share price is very weak. Is something not going well?
Finally, Medisen has 4 years to sell their GUD shares. Do you think they are selling now to raise cash to buy back their shares and, second, is a low price good for GUD as biotoscan shareholders will most likely sell at the ptemium offered? Thank you!

Q: I hold the following in my balanced equity type portfolio and they all represent less than a half position, either because they have dropped or because they have not kept up with the rest of the portfolio. I have enough new money to top up 4 or 5 of them to their original weightings. Which would you top up at this point and which would you simply let go?

I see GUD starting to breakout from the base around $7.50, any reason for the move over the last two days and would you add to GUD now or wait a few more quarters? Also been holding GILD for a few years (-40%) and looking to change names? Any suggestions? Thanks!

Q: I am trying to quantify the new political risk owning this name. With the transaction for GBT being in Brazilian Reals I expect most of its revenue is in Brazil, however your report mentions Argentina and Chile as potentially unstable and there is a total of 10 Latin countries it operates in.
Can you break down the revenue sources for GBT by country please?
