takeover?looks like a takeover by or an amalgamation with i suspect request seismic (t.rsh.un).several reasons for this are as follows:
-large volume spike on or about oct 5/01 for pulse data, indicative of insider buying (see this most of the time on canadian stock exchanges!)ahead of the offer or business deal, etc.
-large drop in price for request seismic approx 4 weeks later. perhaps request insiders think the offer is too rich or income investors are worried about their dividend.with request not saying what is going on, causes request investors to panic sell
-pulse data has been very underpriced up to oct.5/01 so some sort of a deal with request makes sense to get a better price for their shareholders.( i might add that the arc venture energy fund would be a big beneficiary as they own almost half of pulse data )
