RE: clq and win ...my 2 centsHello All, Wow-lan, I agree with you on most counts but I believe CLQ has more going for them than you give them credit for. You don't raise $50 million from Ontario institutional investors without a great story to tell & high probability for success. There have been many great debates/rivalries over time. Montreal Canadians VS Toronto Maple Leafs, Denver Broncos Vs Oakland Raiders, buy & hold strategy Vs timing/trading the market & now WIN Vs CLQ. Who will perform better? They both have a significant chance for high success IMO. They both have large upside potential. They will both help one another to succeed, there will be synergy between them and I will even go so far as to say that eventually they may even merge if buyouts don't happen first. I did finally buy my first 100 shares of CLQ this week. Should have done it at $2 when I first started lurking. BTW WIN owns 1.8 million shares of CLQ which will be about 9% after dilution of PP.
Since we have had so much good dialogue here lately, let me throw 2 articles for debate into the ring. First, I would expect now that WIN is listed on the TSE and with a bang, I might add, that they will begin to receive further analyst coverage. This could help to boost interest and their share price. I have a friend who is visiting his CIBC Wood Gundy broker this week and I have asked him to enquire about their rumoured initiated coverage of WIN. Any comments or experiences with the analyst topic?
Secondly I have often wondered what effect the post on these chat boards have on the share price. If one considers that WIN is getting about 260 hits per post within 24 hours, that is a lot of investors absorbing this information. I believe there is an impact I am just not sure how much. I think traders interpret the mood of the board and use it as a tool. I also think it depends on the stock. With WIN for example there is limited outside new info on a regular basis. There is limited analyst coverage. Let the debates begin! :-) Cheers!!!
