WHILE WE WAIT...Seems to be a few people around this long weekend. Perhaps one of you can help me with a couple of queries?
1) CANADA CHROME: What is the reason for creating a subsidiary like this? Is this a normal action in a case like this, or is this a bit unusual? I understand the reason given for creating Debuts Diamonds, but not to sure about Canada Chrome. Is it to give them the option of selling it off for a tidy sum down the road? Perhaps to Cliff's? Selling to Cliff's would kinda negate the reason for shedding Debuts though. Any thoughts?
2) TSX: On a more general note, why do shareholders seem to get so excited about a company graduating to the TSX, or panicking when a company is downgraded from the TSX. What are the implications that make shareholders so happy to see their company move up? I believe tighter regulations, and higher listing fees might be a difference, but why is it so desirable? What is the significant benefit to the company and it's shareholders?
Thanks
