Those that held for dividend..
It will be paid put, just delayed / prudent by the company and regulators. IMO this is a great case for why short selling shouldn't be allowed - the company is still financially sound - Aeroplan is still turning a profit. I just think the dividend yield due to excessive short selling is what's causing the hold up. They already have the money set aside for the payment, just some red tape to go through first. I bought some preferres shares this morning when they tanked almost 50% from yesterday's close. They seem to recover very quickly and are a safer bet than the common shares as they will get the dividend reinstated first imo. -Uber
