RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Learn something while your waiting for nothing to happen While you may very well be correct, whitenorth, the bigger issue is it's happening in every sector connected to this industry from mining lithium and other battery related setbacks to inflation/interest rates and thus consumer demand.

Speaking of the discussion here, clearly the demand for anything related to EV charging is falling as consumers realize, especially in a country like Canada, these vehicles cost a great deal more (at least in the short term) than traditional gasoline powered and that for many a hybrid is a much better option right now. So in that the margins for DM were obviously low, the demand not as high as anticipated which caught them and some of the largest companies in the world off guard. IMHO, DM off loading DMEVS at a loss was better than letting it bleed money.
As for, where did all the profits go from the covid test bonanza, that's a completely different question ...although it is spelled out, at least in part, in the financials ....buy back of shares, Imagine Health Clinics purchase, continuing loan repayment are a few of the more upfront, transparent examples. The rest of it???
