Too Much Market Value for Too Small a Market
This niche business generates plenty of “adjusted EBITDA,” but no real profits. It also has too much market value for too small a market, especially in light of its deteriorating competitive position. Absent a textbook case of “stupid money risk,” (i.e. a grossly overpriced acquisition) the risk/reward does not look good for equity investors.

Closing Danger Zone Pick: VirnetX Holding Corp (VHC)
While business prospects still hinge upon patent infringement rulings, the significantly lower valuation no longer presents the unbalanced risk/reward it once did.

Closing Danger Zone Pick: Verifone Systems (PAY)
While fundamental issues remain, such as a bottom-quintile ROIC and a challenging competitive landscape, we are inclined to take profits.

A Practical Solution To Fulfill The Duty Of Care
Without the Duty of Care, the Duty of Loyalty is nearly worthless. An advisor that tries to act in your best interest, but doesn’t have the skill or diligence to do so can cause just as much harm as a conflicted advisor.
