Earnings numbers..
will show where the company is headed. If weaker than expected, the stock will probably drop based upon the unknown of when the numbers will stabilize. If they surprise on the upside, it will be another positive for the company. Then, it will be a matter of what they will do from there. Either they will have to work at stabilizing the numbers, if weaker, or figuring out how to move ahead with available cash for the biggest bang for the buck. A share buyback is a possibility. If the stock drops further they may have to delist from the Nasdaq (I don't see that as a negative in the present environment), lots they can do. Bring the company back to just a Canadian listing and start reporting in Cdn. $$. Retrench and move ahead. Course this won't happen as they will try and keep the US listing but it really does them more harm than good right now. Tighten the float perhaps? I would rather see that than debt paydown but debt is what the analysts are focused on. If the stock drops much more, it is a sitting duck for a takeover, management buyout etc. Pretty hard for he analysts with $3 and $4 target prices to suddenly reverse sentiment and say the company is worth more if management decides to buy it out. There is a good reason we need a higher stock price than what the market is giving us. Hey, it is possible now that MT is out that he organizes a group to take the company private!! Market cap is only $230 million!!

Yes, I think it is obvious that MT probably had financial habits similair to CXR's. He probably took on some personal debt

I've said this countless times on this board. MT could not cover the margin call while the company was in a blackout. Doing so would have amounted to insider trading because it would have involved making an investment decision on the shares of the company.

Dude they have sufficient C/F to meet the interest expense and some! and as a company they better be buying drugs with performance thresholds (contingent payouts). The whole point of that is to pay less for the portfolio.
