RE: Real close would have been .46CINDY__I agree with RC that ABM was once again upticked by ETrade at the end of the day.
I have seen ETrade do this frequently over the past 3 months__could easily be one of the company insiders with a vested interest to maintain the market price and hence the paper value of their 9 million seed shares they gave themselves two years ago.
And going into a likely 9 million dollar covertible debenture private placement soon, maintaining the market price of ABM will be critical for the next month or so as the deal unfolds.
By the way, what kind of bunker are both you and Tubbie shacked up in????__both of you commenting about how tough the markets have been??????__Maybe it is the kind of stocks you two keep company with?????
From what I can see it was actually not only a very nice day for the CDN markets but it also was a nice week overall.__And the same for the US markets.
