Q3 2015 Share Price Performance (Part 1)
Ninety nine Canadian healthcare companies started 2015 with share prices of $0.10 or higher. Three of these companies are no longer part of this sector, including Catamaran which was acquired by UnitedHealth Group and IMRIS which was taken private by Deerfield. Of the remaining 96 companies, decliners only slightly outnumbered advancers by 50 to 46 but the average share price decline was 12.4% in Q3 2015. There were only 3 companies with share price increases of 40% or more, whereas 17 companies had share price declines of 40% or more. The sector is impacted by many factors beyond the performance of individual healthcare companies. The TSX Composite Index and most major global indices were weak, with reasons including slower growth of the Chinese and other economies, weak commodity prices and concerns about the timing of a U.S. fed rate hike – or the absence of one. The TSX Venture Composite Index bounced along a bottom during the first 6 months of 2015 but slid downhill throughout Q3. In the U.S., strong performances by technology and social media stocks on the NASDAQ in the first six months of 2015 were wiped out in Q3 and the declines were compounded by the collapse of biotech valuations after the Turing Pharmaceuticals drug price debacle and government musings about price controls. As a reminder, Hillary Clinton made similar comments as her husband became the U.S. president over 20 years ago and nothing really happened except brief pharma share price declines. In this blog, I am going to comment on the Q3 and 9-month performance of the group of 46 companies with share prices of $1.00 or more to start 2015 (excludes Catamaran). Q3 2015 Performance Decliners outnumbered advancers by 33 to 13 Average and median share price changes were -9% and -10%, respectively No group had a positive share price performance, with the best performance from the Services group Seven companies had share price changes of 40% or more in Q3 versus four companies in Q2 and nine companies in Q1 Two companies had a share price increase of 40% or more Aquinox Pharmaceuticals (+103%) – the perfect example of share price volatility in biotech; the share price was crushed in early July on a failed Phase 2 COPD trial BUT became a 10-bagger from those lows on additional data from a Phase 2 pain trial (notorious for placebo effects) in early August; the company then completed a US$98 million financing in September Medicure (+43%) – continuation of a trend from early 2015 on increased Aggrastat sales and a September filing with the U.S. FDA for a an expanded indication Five companies had a share price decline of more than 40% Trillium Therapeutics (-40%) – declined throughout the quarter on no news; announced Phase 1 plans for its lead product on the last day of the quarter Merus Labs (-41%) – slow decline which was probably triggered by the financial results released on August 10th Arbutus Biopharma (formerly Tekmira; -49%) – continuation of a decline which started in early February Cipher Pharmaceuticals (-54%) – continuation of a decline which started in early February Aurora Spine (-58%) – continuation of a year-long decline, perhaps now impacted by financial concerns 9-Month 2015 Performance I believe that the Canadian healthcare investor focus has remained the same throughout 2015 – companies with revenues, profits and dividends/distributions. The three groups which investors focused on were Services, Therapeutics – Commercial and Medical Devices. Most of the share price gains in these groups occurred in Q1. Decliners substantially outnumbered advancers by 29 to 17 Average and median share price changes were -4% and -6%, respectively Six companies had share price increases of 40% or more and eight Q2 [The author and his immediate family members may have long or short positions in the shares of some companies mentioned in or assessed during the preparation of this blog.

Clinton: Saying 'illegal immigrants' was poor word choice
DENVER (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton said on Tuesday her use of the term "illegal immigrants" was a "poor choice of words" and she pledged not to use it anymore, responding to criticism from immigration activists.The Democratic presidential candidate was asked about her use of the term to describe people who are in the U.S. illegally during a question-and-answer session on Facebook held by Telemundo. The question came from Jose Antonio Vargas, a filmmaker and journalist whose organization, Define American, has said the terminology is offensive and asked all presidential candidates to stop using it.
"Yes, I will," Clinton wrote during a stop in Boulder, Colorado. "That was a poor choice of words. As I've said throughout this campaign, the people at the heart of this issue are children, parents, families, DREAMers. They have names and hopes and dreams that deserve to be respected."
DREAMers take their name from the acronym for legislation that lays out a process toward citizenship for immigrants who were brought into the country illegally as children and grew up in the United States.
During a town-hall meeting in New Hampshire earlier this month, Clinton said she voted "numerous times when I was a senator to spend money to build a barrier to try to prevent illegal immigrants from coming in. And I do think you have to control your borders."
Clinton has called for expanding President Barack Obama's executive actions on immigration and overhauling U.S. immigration laws, providing a pathway to citizenship for those living in the U.S. illegally.
Her plans mark a sharp contrast with Republican White House hopefuls, who have vowed to roll back the president's immigration orders. Many GOP candidates also routinely use the term "illegals" to refer to immigrants in the country illegally.
Clinton, during a subsequent rally in Boulder, said the U.S. was "fighting for human rights and dignity and freedom" against terrorism and said the U.S. was justified in allowing refugees to enter the U.S. after a "strong vetting process." Republican presidential candidates have largely opposed allowing refugees from Syria into the country. GOP front-runner Donald Trump has suggested he would support ways to track Muslims in the U.S.
"I've heard all of this loose and inflammatory talk about refugees," Clinton said. "And I don't think that does us any good at all in waging and winning the fight against criminals and killers who misuse religion and promote a different set of values than the ones that we believe in."
Clinton met in Boulder early Tuesday with survivors of mass shooting victims, and she later vowed to fight gun violence with tougher gun control laws.
Clinton met with Jane Dougherty, sister of Mary Sherlach, who was slain at the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in 2012; Tom Sullivan and Matthew Jenks, the father and brother-in-law, respectively, of Alex Sullivan, who was killed in the 2012 Aurora theater shootings; and Coni Sanders, daughter of Dave Sanders, killed in the 1999 Columbine High School shootings.
"If 33,000 people were dying every year from something else, we'd surely do something about it," Clinton said of U.S. shooting deaths at a Denver rally.
Also Tuesday, the former secretary of state won the endorsement of the Laborers' International Union of North America, which represents about 500,000 construction workers. Clinton has won the support of several large unions representing about 11 million members in total.
