Hey CC, I like your thinking. Never even thought about the European connection and its likely timing with a NASDAQ listing. My only concern at this point is the potential dumping of shares onto the NASDAQ as we and others are subjected to the possibility of a "quick" win. The ironic part is that the more of us that go for the quick win, the less of a win it will be, while if shares are not flooding themarket down there everyone will be a whole lot richer. I'm very pleased with the trading pattern in the past week. There has been alot of "playing" taking place with this stock, not outright manipulation but certainly the professionals taking advantage of us retail investors. Those price swings favoured the houses alot more than us! If the stock is grabbed by the US daytraders, we won't have to worry about that in the future, it will have a life of its own. Anyway, I'm with you. Holding until I get the share price I'm looking for. The more that think like us, the more that will actually achieve what they have set out to accomplish. Set your goals and don't stop till you get there! See you at the party!

I just got back home. Just wanted to bring it to everyone's attention that even though the markets in the U.S. did very well today, the volume was remarkably low, just like the volume on BII. The analysts on CNBC were commenting on the low volume. Tomorrow I believe Greenspan is having a meeting and might give a hint as to whether the Fed will raise rates. Let's hope the rates stay the same or eventually are lowered again. RG

Hi Crazy !! Good to see you had a good trip and welcome back. I've always appreciated your comments and have missed your common sense in your absence. If you are wondering why the board is so quiet, probably partly because there is no news (since the Nasdaq announcement) and also because I, for one (and I suspect many others) have really tired of Doug's comments here. It creates dissention rather than discussion , so I have lost interest in continued aimless debate. Rather, I'm spending my time trying to reach out and make US investors aware of this stock as I feel that it is a more profitable use of my time. I have AOL as my ISP and they are set up very well for this. I don't know what other ISP's have as I have had AOL only, but I think that something of the sort that is available at AOL is on the other ISP's as well. They have a site called Investing Forums and each stock has its own page. All you need to do is go to that page and you can post and get info. Similar to this site on SI. They also have the stock chat rooms where each person can discuss whatever stock they wish and exchange views. T. Lehwald (who is a "reader" at this site) has very thoughtfully entered on the Investing Forums site for BII, all the links that provide information about the company to help interested people do their DD. I think this step in making it easier for investors to get information is a very positive step in getting the news out about this stock. It also makes it easier to talk about the stock in the chat rooms because you have a place to send anyone who is interested. My thought is that if everyone did this on their own ISP that we could gradually get information to the public before it comes on the Nasdaq (and after,too) to Canadians as well as Americans. I would appreciate your comments on this idea and any feedback.
