Commentary response from a licensed OB-GYN - VTDigger (vtdigger.org)

While what the first author says seems compelling about abortions done at later gestations, or as she points out “up to and including nine months,” it is not ...

You and your partner are responsible for ensuring you do not get pregnant.” I would like to remind the author that there is not one single form of contraception that does not fail. The point is not that someone would take advantage of this law to end a pregnancy, it is that it would be in place for those exceedingly rare situations where terminating the pregnancy would save the women’s life. These are just a few that I can name, that I have never seen, but are known to exist in the real world, not just someone’s imagination. Why would she believe that a medical provider would be involved in such a situation? From what the author writes, it seems that a medical provider would jump on board and provide this type of care wantonly. It doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen, it’s just that it is extremely rare and hence a complicated medical situation.

Is It Smart To Buy OKEA ASA (OB:OKEA) Before It Goes Ex-Dividend? (Simply Wall St)

OKEA has a low and conservative payout ratio of just 15% of its income after tax. That said, even highly profitable companies sometimes might not generate ...

OKEA looks like a real growth company, with earnings per share growing at a cracking pace and the company reinvesting most of its profits in the business. It's encouraging to see that the dividend is covered by both profit and cash flow. That said, even highly profitable companies sometimes might not generate enough cash to pay the dividend, which is why we should always check if the dividend is covered by cash flow. [OB:OKEA](https://simplywall.st/stocks/no/energy/ob-okea/okea-shares)) is about to go ex-dividend in the next 3 days. If you buy this business for its dividend, you should have an idea of whether OKEA's dividend is reliable and sustainable. The ex-dividend date is important because any transaction on a stock needs to have been settled before the record date in order to be eligible for a dividend.

Why Nordic Semiconductor ASA (OB:NOD) Could Be Worth Watching (Simply Wall St)

Nordic Semiconductor ASA ( OB:NOD ), might not be a large cap stock, but it received a lot of attention from a...

However, the optimistic forecast is encouraging for NOD, which means it’s worth further examining other factors such as the strength of its balance sheet, in order to take advantage of the next price drop. Will you have enough conviction to buy should the price fluctuate below the industry PE ratio? Although value investors would argue that it’s the intrinsic value relative to the price that matter the most, a more compelling investment thesis would be high growth potential at a cheap price. According to my price multiple model, which makes a comparison between the company's price-to-earnings ratio and the industry average, the stock price seems to be justfied. A question to answer is whether Nordic Semiconductor's current trading price of kr152 reflective of the actual value of the mid-cap? Some share price movements can give investors a better opportunity to enter into the stock, and potentially buy at a lower price.
