If one subscribes to the "Greater Cockroach Theory" (you know, if you see one, there's bound to be hundreds more), I'm not sure buying more CMND now is such a good idea. For the time being, I'm sitting on my shares. However, the underwriters were impossibly vague in their downgrade memos. What in the world did they find wrong with the future prospects of this company? They just danced around the issue with obfuscating phrases like "cause for concern". Not only did the underwriters reverse glowing buy recommendations (with a target price of 24) within a few weeks of issue, they didn't give us any reason for their flip-flop. What do they think is wrong with CMND? Especially what is now wrong with CMND that they didn't discover in their exhaustive preparations for the IPO a little while ago? Something really stinks with this whole affair.
