No way this guys will have good times soon. The fundamentals talk by themselves:Who will by a company with a P/B of 16x, have a ROE in the last 5y of -11, a P/S of 3,63x? Maybe you are looking for the 62,87% of Dividend Yield (Trailing 12mo.). But… More

PDLI's 12% current dividend is just too good to pass up. Also, there's the promise of a hefty special dividend coming up within the next couple months. That should provide some insurance against major declines that might arise from the next down-leg of our bear market or from nationalization of all health-care-related companies by the current socialist government. If the socialists lose in the 2010 mid-term elections, PDLI could do even better over a longer term. Even if the socialists win, it still took Canada more than 2 years to drop the "public-option" charade and switch to full socialist medical mode, so you should be able to escape this and all other health-related equities right around this time next year if it looks like the socialists will retain their national majority.
