RE:Cruel stock!Greenhorn,
The company is being hurt due to individuals pulling out their money from deposit accounts, which is because of OSC lawsuits. The shorts were already in place ahead of this run.
Unfortunate to see happen since I don't think the quality of their mortgage book is poor or overly misrepresented.
The funding model depends 100% on investors trust in deposits/GIC's. That trust has been broken.
