Hello, Louie. Thank you for the info. I am wondering if Bruce mentioned specifically about the DBCO deal. DBCO stock has been slipping along with ECGOF. It looks like there is a lot of concerns about whether the deal can be consummated.

Thank you.
Regards,
Baoho

>>>>>>Analysts, may have calculated the EPS incorrectly. Amer. Eco. reports earnings in Canadian dollars according to Canadian GAAP rules and in US dollars this means lower earnings, thus missed expectations.<<<<

The "expectation" which was missed was MANAGEMENT'S $1.20, repeatedly "confirmed" right up until the results were announced. The cause of the miss was NOT because an analyst was using the wrong currency.
