RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Recession means increased public works spending Ron , today's 17$ is in the very near future going to be your 8$ +++ huge score as you describe.
You also mentioned that you should have bought all traded shares for that bargain day.
Look at it this way with my logic analogy!
"Once you squeeze the toothpaste out of the tube, you can't put it back into the the tube."
So at this point forget about it and enjoy your win as many people did during that horrible Aecon era and frankly today as we communicate, today's 17$ is soon going to be yesterday's 8$ and we all will say " do you remember when we scored by picking Aecon at 17$ and should have picked more at today's 17$
All in all , Aecon is truly a hidden treasure , for all to discover, and to understand its true intrinsic underlying value!!!!
Let's all stick together, continue to accumulate and do not sell no matter what swings are in front of you. ( these are my few cents)
