D flow thru shares recently issued at 2.54
They were all donated to charity by the buyers. The Charities or charity then sold them all for 2.06 per share. The buyers of the flow shares paid no capital gains tax as donated to charity . They also got a double tax deduction ie flow thru shares plus the donation to charity. Did the flow share buyers make any money -----likely they are facing a small lose however for billionaries it is an inexpensive way to donate to charity which in this case seems the main motivation. They get credit for it but it costs them a few cents on the dollar while in effect the government pays the rest through forgone taxes.

Where did you get this story? Nothing about it makes sense.

I hope you are not accusing me of trolling . How so ? My initial statement is 100% correct. Sorry about saying I owned the shares for 50 years when it was only 38.

A company called Pear Tree Canada may have had there finger in the deal. They specialize in flow thru shares tied to charitable giving.

Ok I will bite. Are you suggesting that the charitable donation was the impetus for the stock issuance or that it was an opportunity identified after the stock issuance was announced? Help me to understand.

Interesting I have not heard about these. Really killed ygr share price. You would think there would be ambulance chasers trying to sue management for acting outside shareholder's interests. I picked up a ton of shares below $2 so I am fine with it but I would be pretty pissed off if I was a large buyer 6 weeks ago and then this little scheme is hatched.

With this new information, I feel like I won the lottery. Imagine being able to buy a stock below 1x cash flow. Should be back over $2 in short order. Great time to buy. Thanks all for the information.
