Dave, Ask and you shall receive. Well, I asked about Hollinger and Lo and Behold! big article in today's globe and mail. Hollinger is Conrad Black's domain. Article was about how many millions The National Post has lost in the past year. However, there also was a mention of a very large financing that was oversubscribed and which will allow Hollinger to retire some very expensive debt--12.5%, I think. I'll have to read the article again without any breakfast distractions. The National Post is bleeding red ink with advertising down and fierce competition from the G&M. I know they've been giving away papers to try to get their readership up. Hard for me to make out in my quick read what the overall story is for Hollinger. I see that HCN.UN is down a dime today. This is outside what I normally would buy so if anyone follows the publishing stocks, it would be helpful to have an opinion.
