RE:smokey FYI...... Agreed, JWING! Having said that it tends to be a very narrow field of individuals that can invest in a PP and they can't participate in this through a public market exchange.
As you have suggested, and I concur, the fact that the PP closed is at the least reasonably material to the positive prospects for DM ...unlike what some others on this board profess. Of course they were the same individuals that expressed strong doubts the PP would even close.
For those who may not completely understand the differences between a PP and normal trading in the markets, the following overview from BC (which is representative for all of Canada) is a worthwhile read:
