What Concordia Healthcare needs to do "right now"?

1. Go public and say that you're reorganizing your board and looking for a new CEO.
2. State a drafted version of a strategic plan, subject to review by new Board and new CEO.

This should be enough "for this week." Earnings "trust" takes time. Example is Valeant.

And you do know that one way to end price gouging by drug companies is for government to fast-track approval of generics. The headwinds are so strong here that as has you piss in the wind with your armchair CEO ideas, it's coating you all yellow.

You should read an enitre FDA document, there is no such thing as fast track, generics must undergo testing, clinical trials, pages of supporting evidence, chemical composition. All the trials before FDA approval must take years to complete just to protect the public from errors in chemistry and unkown factors  FDA is no joke these guys have shut businesses down due to long processes and

Nice to have a former short on the long side. I'm sure we will have plenty more soon...

Guys, the landscape of generics today will be quite different than the landscape of generics in two year especially on a Clinton win.  Serious investors (not all of us daytraders) look multiyear in advance and plan for the future.

1) Sell the company to a private equity firm or pharma company for a much as you can get per share. 2) If the above deal is not competed by the end of September, the Board should ask CEO Mark Thompson to resign as Chairman and CEO and replace him.....According to Montrusco Bolton, Mr. Thompson has been raking in a very large compensation package for himself, so attracting a high quality CEO
