it should be obvious BUT witch hunters ignore the obvious because it gets in the way of the facts and the truth... In this day and age of Cross border investing by Canadian banks... Not to mention the outright acquisition of American financial coprporations by Canadian Banks... and with the natural patriotism of Americans is it ANY wonder that Americans are NOT sold on a Canadian Pharmaceutical company with NO marketable product? How about the disparity in Population alone? at 10:1 (roughly) Americans to Canadian... Shall I go on? JUST how many Canadians do you Imagine have enough money to GAMBLE on outright stock purchases as opposed to having shares held by a mutual fund?
BUT like I said... IF it can't corroberate YOUR hypothesis then it couldn't possibly be relevant coudl it?
