Scare tactic, stupidity, lies or what? I bet a well experienced retail investor reading this board must be equipped with an attitude of critical thinking about all the information and comments that are presented to them.
1. The two articles from UK were not from the London Thames which is the most influential publication in the country. The loophole were pointed out. So the government can fix it so no future abuses can be made. What will it affect CXR? The company CXR bought out did it before BUT CXR did not (the name of Concordia was not mentioned). We cannot say CXR will suffer in the future because this practice will be stopped. just like we cannot put an estimate of profit lost while CXR may or may not have the intention to do that in the future. Profit growth still goes on with new drugs channel through the pipeline when CXR executes successfully their business plan. The worry is totally immature and I believe is intentional to stir fear to the weak hands for someone's self interest.
2. CXR cannot guarantee a buyout must be done to the public when the negotiation is on-going. If ii is a Must then one does not have much good hand to show on the table and the suitors know you will at the end accept whatever their offerings are, even for an unreasonable one for all shareholders.
The volatility of the sp will be the norm for some time but like Andrew McCrath said "Don't give up, hold on to your shares".
