ATTENTION VANCOUVER BC EXPLOSION BLACKS OUT CITY FOR 3 DAYS (including today)

ALL VANCOUVER AREA POLICE ARE OUT IN FORCE TONIGHT

Its entirely likely that many brokerage houses are blacked out as well, working by glow sticks, no toilets working, no air conditioning etc. Most downtown hotels are blacked out as well

What this means to GXS shareholders......

BUY BUY BUY and hope Cannacord and other houses can't trade the shares if their computers are down. If this is true we can kill the shorts and make them pay up big time.

Area affected...right in the heart of the financial district
"The affected area stretched from Hastings St. on the north to Robson St. on the south and from Burrard St. on the west all the way to Cambie St. on the east. The Yaletown district was also affected."

"It could be a short term fix and it could be several days. It's really hard to speculate until we get in and have a look,'' said a BC Hydro spokesperson.
