Short Positions - Where does one get the short positions on Canadian Stocks these days (my old link no longer works). Would like to see short positions on MFL, EPM, GAM, AGI, WGI, etc. Thanks for any help/link to Canadian Short Positions.

Listened:) Very encouraging - that spillover into juniors next. Lots of talk about MFL and the stock seems to like the flattery. Thought this was interesting: Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway said fourth-quarter profit declined 18 percent on falling insurance rates. Operating earnings excluding some items dropped to $1,518 a share, missing the $1,613 average of three analysts' estimates compiled by Bloomberg. Berkshire Hathaway's offer to accept bond insurance business from rivals including MBIA Inc. has been withdrawn, Buffett told CNBC today bloomberg.com And this one too March 3 (Bloomberg) -- Philadelphia's $4 billion pension deficit is causing the city's retirement-fund manager to shun Treasuries at a time when the Bush administration needs him most. Yields on 30-year U.S. bonds that fell to a record low of 4.10 percent this year are forcing pension funds to favor equities, corporate debt and commodities in an attempt to cover unfunded liabilities and meet return objectives of about 8 percent. Even the federal government's own Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. said on Feb. 19 that it plans to shift $15 billion to stocks from debt. bloomberg.com CJ
