"Where is everyone?"

Serge, I asked the same question back in January on the Motley Fool's boards. ETN's was trading at $6.50 or so and looked like a perfect short candidate. I followed it down to $3 but there was virtually no poster interest.

It struck me as odd at the time that a 130-year old Canadian icon was dying and, quite frankly, nobody cared. A tragic example of reaping what you sow, I'm afraid. It was clearly the result of a management, operations, marketing and financial team that variously smacked of incompetence, opportunism and corruption. Timothy must be rolling in his grave tonight.

Let's hope that CA can put their 90 day reprieve to more constructive use that ETN's made of their 450 day IPO.

Thomas

Serge,

Like I said in an earlier post, if we were in the U.S. this whole mess would be headed for litigation..

Why do you say that? I don't know the story as I never really followed Eatons.

Regards,
Michael Bidder
