Gilbert, j'ai acheté du MindReady cette semaine. Une décision difficile à prendre dans le contexte actuel des marchés. Au moins, Nortel a annoncé une nouvelle encourageante hier en confirmant ses prévisions pour le prochain trimestre. Aussi, le fait que les actions de MindReady ont finalement trouvé preneur à 12$ plutôt qu'à 16$ comme l'espérait d'abord la compagnie est une bonne chose pour les actionnaires. J'ai bien hâte de voir comment va se comporter le stock au départ. Le float ne sera que de 600,000 actions pour commencer, la plus grosse partie de l'émission étant entre les mains d'investisseurs institutionnels. Il faut donc s'attendre à beaucoup de volatilité... Un point qui pourrait aider les marchés la semaine prochaine, c'est la rencontre de la Fed. Si le marché obtient la confirmation que la Banque centrale est prête à assouplir sa politique monétaire rapidement, et que d'autre part les pressions inflationnistes sont inexistantes, nous aurons la combinaison gagnante pour établir, à tout le moins un prix plancher au marché. Je me croise les doigts. MF
