RE: Price SuppresionWhile it's apparent that someone currently has an agenda to keep PAT's closing s/p down, I'm not convinced that this is in any way illegal. Sure it's distasteful to those of us who want to see the s/p close higher.... but that's all (unless someone can convince me otherwise). Couldn't it just be some small shareholder with a grudge who is using Desjardins as his/her service provider?? Couldn't any one of us twisted souls legally do the same thing (or the opposite)?
Hopefully RS and the Pat insiders are patient and smart enough not to bite on a lowered take-out bid. I'm confident that an encouraging upcoming Q4-07 financial report followed by an even better Q1-08 report (as should happen with $900 gold) will propel the PAT s/p upwards through these current manipulations. What we REALLY need is someone big to come in and buy many thousands of PAT shares and blow through this 50c silliness.
Our little Pat.... there's never a dull moment.
