RE:RE:disproportional reaction pm1231,
1. $4 price target - based on chart price and volume patterns, nothing to do with fundamental analysis.
2. Why fire the CEO before results are announced? Any investor who knows anything at all about the stock market will tell you the firing would only encourage negative speculation and a stock sell-off. If the results are inline with the latest guidance or a slight miss, announce the CEO departure simultaneously. The early firing suggests more bad news is on the way (or a situation where the CEO and Board are at great odds with each other - dividend policy?).
One other point, at least Canexus knows how to prevent information leaks.
When the cost overrun was announced, the stock was at a 3 month high.
When the CEO departure was announced, there was only some minor weakness in the stock price during the week preceding the announcement.
Contrast those two events with the secondary offering where the stock price had already rolled over, making a new 52 week low (closing basis) on the day of the announcement (Bay Street leaking like a sieve).
