RE: Took a small position ...After two tries at financing through the sale of stock (not similar to Aber) the third time was the charm.
About a week, maybe less, after CAEs' deal closed with the institiutions they (being CAE) put out poor q numbers (or a lost contract bid, not sure what it was at the time) and locked the bagholders into a 20% loss on the makets reaction to the news. Looks as if the syndicate financing Aber is getting the same treatment although maybe not to the same extent; time will tell on that count as well.
Not to worry, all will turn out well for both sets of bagholders; they have very deep pockets and are both nimble and patient traders. CAE has done well in the interim; I just left a little while ago with a decent profit after a few months time and am waiting to re-enter when the time is right.
Hope that clarifies things a little better; you can read all about it in the archives of CAEs board if you want to pursue it further.
Good luck to all
