Look at CRH, CXV, PHM, NHC, GUD, CXR. There are a ton of better companies with better outlooks than CPH. I would argue CPH ranks dead last against these companies. That's a clear fact given the ~90% underperformance.


Are any of those attractively valued?  I ran the first three and there are some fast growing companies there, but all absurdly overpriced.   Why chase growth at a high price?

It looks to me like Cipher screwed up an important drug.  The Ranbaxy tie-up looks like a mess, and effectively there is no effective sales force there.  But Cipher does have high return on equity, and once the price comes down a little, it might make an attractively priced investment.  I would not touch it here.
