Yessireee..... Like Dat OT :-) Try Risa at First Hawaiian on Beretania..... she used to lend me plenty money to buy Condo's & Motor scooters :-) BTW: I really liked Tina's/IR explaination/significanse(sp) of the TSE listing: To all our shareholders, I thought it helpful to elaborate what a listing with the TSE really means to us. The Toronto Stock Exchange consistently ranks as one of the world's top exchanges and is Canada's premier market for senior equities, accounting for approximately 95% of all equity trading in Canada. In 1999, more than 29 billion shares traded, worth more than $529 billion - about $2 billion a day in share transactions. A big player in the TSE 300 has been Nortel, however companies such as Merrill Lynch & Co Canada, Ballard Power Systems, Four Seasons Hotels, Fairfax Financials, Royal Bank, TD Bank, Shell Canada are a mere handful of the companies listed. As of September 26, 2000, the Toronto Stock Exchange outpaced all major world markets in the new millennium. Its benchmark index, the TSE 300 Composite Index®, closed at 10630.98 on September 25, 2000 to record a YTD gain of 25%. There has been well-documented interest in companies such as Nortel Networks Corporation and BCE Inc. However, an analysis of the market shows the nature of the upswing to be more broad based, with 9 of the TSE 300's 14 sub-sectors showing a YTD percentage increase greater than 10%. G7 Performance Comparison In a global context the TSE has fared much better than its G7 counterparts. Table 1 ranks the YTD index performances of the G7 markets as of September 25, 2000. The TSE 300 returned 25%, 16% better than the next-best performance of the Italian market. Table 1 G7 Market Index YTD % change ® As of Sep. 25, 2000 TSE 300 Composite 24.5 MIB TEL, Milan 8.6 CAC - 40, Paris 5.6 S&P 500 -2.9 DAX, Frankfurt -3.2 Dow Jones Industrials -7.5 NASDAQ Composite -9.3 FTSE 100, London -10.3 Nikkei 225, Tokyo -15.9 Source: globeinvestor.com Considered in a narrower North American context the TSE 300 return looks even more remarkable. It has outperformed the S&P500 by 27%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average by 32% and the NASDAQ Composite by 34%. In fact, these US indices have all lost ground since January. The narrower S&P/TSE60®1 index has a YTD stock price index value return of 29%. This is a tremendous step for us. Hope this helps.
