You should lobby to have Yorkton cover EBAY, AMZN, YHOO, etc.etc.etc. You will become a billionaire if you can pull it off and people actually listen to them. Lola:) P.S.: their timing was very opportunistic, not ethical in my opinion.

Why Don't you tell the whole story, Maroon. =========================================================== stockhouse.com Friday, April 23, 1999 Trading frenzy surrounds Bid.Com By LINDA LEATHERDALE, BUSINESS EDITOR Bid.Com was one hot stock yesterday. Eyebrows were raised on Bay St. when it was discovered that among those buying up hundreds of thousands of shares yesterday was Yorkton Securities, Bid.Com's underwriters, who a day earlier downgraded the stock from "speculative buy" to "underperform," suggesting they were trading for far more than the $2 to $3 he figured they are worth. By 10:15 a.m., after the 9:30 a.m. opening bell, Yorkton bought a block of 108,700 shares at $9.03 apiece, cashing in on cheaper prices. The high-flying Internet stock, whose shares were once worth less than $1, then shot up to as high as $32.35, fell $5.10 to $13.90 Wednesday, after Yorkton analyst, Mark Pavan, released his downgrading report. More than seven million Bid.Com shares traded hands yesterday, with shares trading as high as $14.60, then falling back to close the day at $12.45, down $1.45. Bid.Com International Inc., a Canadian online auction company, is one of those explosive Internet stocks, that has whipped investors into a frenzy not unlike the Great Gold Rush. Yesterday, it announced it will hold the Internet's first live streaming video and audio auction next Tuesday.Broadcast by RealNetworks' Real Broadcast Network in RealAudio and RealVideo, the one-hour event will start at 10 p.m. EST on the Web site www.bid.com. Bid.Com's patented Dutch auction format reduces prices from a set starting price until goods are sold out. Viewers will have the opportunity to bid on a hockey jersey autographed by Wayne Gretzky, baseballs signed by Roger Clemens, Tag Hauer watches, Hewlett-Packard computer monitors and other items. Host of the live auction will be comedian Lewis Black, who is regularly seen on ComedyNet, the Internet's 24-hour comedy channel

Dagan, you posted: The National Post reports in its Tuesday, April 27, edition that Yorkton Securities chief executive officer Scott Paterson says his firm should be credited with having the guts to suggest a company it had underwritten had an overvalued share price. I agree completely. Mark Pavan appears to head and shoulders above any other analyst in the industry. Too often analysts are nothing but whores for the underwriting side of the business. Al Edit: The only fault I have with Pavan was the estimated share value was too high. Bids is probably worthless.

courageous for a well-known shorting desk to holler sell? SINCE WHEN? pavan takes 5 pages to say the "4 letter SELL word?" and I thought Cretien was windy. i hate yorkton. got personally screwed by their head trader/firm principal for refusing to take a direct sell order. Then they wanted to charge me for moving my account. fuck them! remember they've had to pay big us sec levied fines due to their unregistered solicitation of clients here in us on non blue sky stocks. sell is all they know how to do. so to recommend selling is like trying to yell the black out of a potbellied stove.
