RE: The Wall You may be right, bill.
My feeling is that we need more ownership down south. Wi-LAN has been owned off and on by most of the major mutual fund houses in Canada since it's inception. Most of the press coverage is on BNN and the Canadian papers.
While JS did the right thing by listing on the NAZ, there have been few (if any) large or well known U.S. institutional investors who have bought in. Looking at the top ten holders I see two U.S. institutional investores, Weintraub (San Francisco) and Kingdon (NYC), both hedge funds. Each owned about 1.5 million shs at the end of September. Have not see an update since then to know if they still own but knowing hedge funds they might have flipped out by now.
That said since WIN is and has been owned and researched extensively by the big funds in Canada, I don't think the next big move up will come from them. I think it will come from a few large U.S. mutual funds who look to own WIN for more than a trade as the above hedge funds do. We need to see Fidelity, Vanguard or American Funds come in an take 3-5 million shaer positions, which are not that big for them btw. I am surprised that we haven't see this already as WIN must be popping up on their valuation screens.
Anyway we need big new buying from U.S. institutions to push the sp higher. It seems the fuel in this former rocket has all been used up.
