RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: Anyone? Welcome aboard, Richy. I'm big into AC, currently holding 50,000 shares and have owned the stock uninterrupted for more than 2 years. I am also heavy into gold and diverrsified elsewhere as well. Like you, I have suffered and and continue to do so. In the last month, dating back to April 10th, the TSX is up 54 points but I have lost 17.5% of my total value. In that same time period, AC.B has gone from $ 3.18 to today's close of $ 2.17, a 31.76% decline. Therein lies my problem. Yet, I am confident. I successfully averaged down on AC and now have a $ 1.80 average cost. To accomplish this I was buying below a dollar when most saw AC heading towards bankruptcy. My confidence was based on the belief that the labour and pension problems would be resolved in AC's favour and they were. Going forward I think Rouge will offer AC the opportunity to reduce costs, extend the life of older planes whilest renewing the fleet and that the cross border advantage of Canadians flying to US destinations from US border airports will be reduced as I expect the government will assist in levelling the playing field by making airport taxes and services more competitive. This Conservative government has shown to be sympathetic to AC and as they understand how vital AC is to Canada I expect their continued support. In addition, there is a fair chance AC will win its arbitration case with Chorus. One last piece of advice - hang onto your gold if you can but if you can't I'd go with AC. Good luck.
