My Thoughts on Cohodes
He's a great short seller. He knew by looking at the numbers - Brexit helped him ALOT and Im sure he didnt expect it. Once Brexit occurred his short thesis was FULL steam.
Do I criticise him? No. Im an investor. I find value in distressed situation. He finds value in distressed situations.
Do I think his short thesis has run out? Not entirely. The company needs to prove itself. Will it bounce back - Q3 will show ALOT. If they can show stability in Q3 (considering the FX rate used will be 1.23/1.24) then they will be fine. New year funds will PILE on. If they f**k it up this thing is a dud.
For Marc I think this is personal. Thompson will most likely be removed as CEO so rest easy Marc.

Lol - You can assume that everyone that worked at Nortel - probably the largest employer in CAD at one point was fradulent. As well Nortel made BAD investments and BAD decisions which led to downfall. INSY is a terrible risk because of opiods (and fraud)

They bought covis with 25% o their own equity, borrowed the rest and then in 15 months wrote off 50% o th purchase price. If that isn't a picture of sloppy due diligence, please show me a better example. If you are paying top $, they should have had clawback provisions to protect shareholders value.
