Agreed. By my calculation, the company has 200-250M in short-term (<6 mos) liquidity left. Make no mistake the 164M NY + 28M other hit to AP is serious. And management has integrity issues. There are problems here, and given management's recent integrity problems, investment here is now speculation. But KPMG certified their > $1B in AR and Cash, which is heartening, and the WSJ article assured us that patients and doctors are not fleeing.
After my article, I got hate mail, but I also got good testimonials as to OXHP's ability to please patients and doctors. The story is not all bad. Long term, this one should do well, but only barring further disclosures from management. Remember the Medicare restructuring charges that are sure to come down the pipe. I posted my current opinion on my web site. We all knew we weren't buying an all-good story. The whole world is hating this one now.
Let me quote from Microsoft's Research Director Nathan Myhrvold:
"We're either really smart or really stupid. Whenever you're greatly at odds with the rest of the world, one of those two things is true."
Good Investing, Mike BTW, I authored a review of the Buffettology book on investor.msn.com that is up tonight. It goes through Buffett's methods. It provides a 5 year spreadsheet for doing his ROR calculation. My web site provides a 10 year spreadsheet. |
