STAY AWAY!

STAY AWAY!CGX should have pursued a sale of itself even though it will likely NEVER see $34 that Cineworld had offerred.  Convertible debentures are not liquid at the best of times even if the size is $275 million - the go NO BID in times of distress.   CGX should NOT be public anymore as it will take years to get it's footing back.    CGX is really on the brink as a public company - privately, owners will not be at the whim of the public markets so there is better focus on the company vs. pleasing short term shareholders.   If you really need to own CGX now, buy the stock and not the convertible debenture....at least the stock will be more liquid most of the time and better upside.   CGX will likely price the conversion premium around 30% and pay say around 5.25% coupon so priced cheaply relative to pre-covid convertible debenture offerings - BUT DON'T LET THAT FOOL YOU!  Don't just look the bait - beware of the hook!    It is really not looking good for many sectors of the economy from a recovery perspective.   Brooks Brothers goes bankrupt today!  A 200 year old company pretty much GONE.   LEVI Straus, at the moment, a rock solid balance sheet but they CUT THE DIVIDEND!   It cannot be good - they have had plenty of time to rejig things to give a better outlook BUT NOT!.   These are not even businesses the involve close contact like cruis lines, theatres, night clubs....CGX should have sold itself at lower prices so now they choose the hard road and what a terrible ride that will be for investors in CGX.
