I was wrong on the NuPathe special situation math yesterday.

I also chose not to rehash every piece of available information for obvious reasons. I just see no need to rewrite everything that has already been said about the deal.

However, there is a vital piece of additional information that I should have included.

But let me go over some of the common questions and concerns raised. I��l also link to the updated excel spreadsheet.

Silly Math MistakeDoh.

Sometimes, the simple ones are the easiest to get wrong.

Here�� what you saw yesterday.

  3. EV Energy Partners

  EV Energy Partners (Nasdaq: EVEP) was the worst-performing oil and gas MLP. The partnership was plagued by cash flow problems, and as a result units declined by 40 percent for the year. At the most recent closing price, units yield 9.1 percent, but EVEP will likely need more cash flow in 2014 to support that yield.
  

  4. CVR Partners

• [By Matt DiLallo]

  The big problem is that there aren't a lot of buyers, which is the issue that�EV Energy Partners� (NASDAQ: EVEP  ) has run into with its own Utica sale. With major players like Chesapeake and Devon exiting, and foreign buyers like Sinopec already securing a foothold in the play, there are few buyers left that are willing to risk capital on a play that's no longer viewed as a sure thing. This has left EV Energy stuck with the 100,000 net acres it has been marketing since last year. The company has chosen to change its marketing strategy to sell the acreage in smaller packages to appeal to more buyers.�

  Teva brings out the ax
  Becoming the latest large biopharmaceutical company to dramatically trim its workforce, on Thursday Teva Pharmaceutical (NYSE: TEVA  ) announced that it'd be shedding 5,000 of its 46,000 global employees in an effort to save $2 billion annually by 2017. Teva plans to use its saved cash to reinvest in its R&D pipeline with a specific focus on complex generic drugs and specialty branded pharmaceutical products. In addition, it also plans to focus on emerging markets which should help it cope with the upcoming loss of Copaxone to generic competition. Copaxone, a multiple sclerosis blockbuster, currently accounts for close to one-fifth of Teva's revenue. This looks like a necessary move for the company, but it could lead to shaky growth over the next couple of quarters as it transitions.

  The major pharmaceutical companies haven't generated a massive amount of revenue out of all this societal change, though. The American market for oral contraceptives totals accounts for less than $4 billion per year in sales, and only Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ  ) commands significant branded market share through the sales of Ortho-branded�contraceptive pills. Since the basic formulations have been around for so long, most oral contraceptives now exist in generic form. That's an opportunity for generic-focused drugmaker Teva Pharmaceuticals (NYSE: TEVA  ) , which acquired the women's health subsidiary drugmaker known as Theramex at the start of 2011.
