StockTrades Take:
As expected Carebook (TSX:CBRK), the newest publicly listed virtual health company, began trading on the TSX Venture yesterday. As discussed last week in our report on the company, we were left un-impressed with the company's IPO listing details.
We recommend reading the report for more in depth insights, but overall we felt that the company didn't provide value, had lower growth prospects and a higher risk profile when compared to stocks such as WELL and DOC. In short, it was one we felt investors did not have to chase.
Yesterday, the stock traded down 21% after the stock cratered on the day of open. It is one that we are likely to keep an eye on, but for now we are watching from the sidelines.
