Here is an example of a car dealership advertising Aeroplan on their website. So far I have found no ads in papers/magazines, but they will appear. Will take time to get the many dealers (3000+) on board. From BC to PEI, there's a lot of country yet to cover.

Lack patience rather than something based on company fundamentals is the probable cause of stock selling.

-------------------------

In a previous post on this forum>>> (1) Any other company/person thinking of competing with FUT would take one look at the amount of cash it has taken them to get to where they are and would realize that without a minimum of $20m to start they can not compete -- this cash is needed to build out the technology, hire staff and simply exist for a couple years before they could really start going...so we will have little to no competition from new entrants.

Putting it another way, for $20 million, it would take approx 10 cents/share to start off running, if another company wants in via a buyout. In addition to that, how much is an exclusive value-added Aeroplan reseller contract for the Canadian automotive category worth to another buyer.

2.5 cents is a bargain if looked at in this way. Normally, a stock price should be based on earnings, but intangibles and expectations come into play also. It's tough to place a finger on investor expectations and make investment decisions based upon intangibles.

Thus for now the stock trades within a range. Saying that, the stock could also leave the trading range without any financial statement news release and based only on future expectations of revenue growth

Maybe it's got to do with a specific promotional strategy and then the miles will be offered at a future ...more

A good example of the Aeroplan logo being used is in today's Globe & Mail. (Page B22) AVIS car rentals: "The Big Miles Event". It stands out well.If car dealerships could do likewise in their ads, then the Aeroplan brand can be effective. Newspaper ads are one way, but the same message can be delivered on TV and the Internet. The idea ...more
