Re: previous post In addition, a number of "dark" pools of liquidity have emerged in Canada, allowing institutional investors to bypass exchanges and anonymously execute large trades electronically, with minimal information leaking out to affect market prices. These include Perimeter Financial's BlockBook, Liquidnet Canada, and others. This now allows "firms" to paint the tape" in any fashion they want.

C, Earlier this week I was in Calgary at the AGM of a private company I am involved in, I invested in it 7 years ago. Co-investors include Research Capital and Blackmont, and CNQ will be the IPO exchange of coice. It is interesting how they are all talking about TSX hiking exchange fees. If the USD wasn't so weak the OTC BB would be an option but who wants to put a nice asset into a stock denominated in USD as the USD could drop another 15-20% because the stock may not rise that much to compensate. CNQ looks like it is about to become even bigger. JMO D
