The new home for now while the old one (StockHouse) gets sorted out which will likely never happen.

A few of minor requests:

Please keep the "personal feelings" posts out of here as much as possible. We all feel the same way. We are all in the same boat.

Don't just post links to who should be contacted but post links to "people" YOU have already contacted and, if applicable, their responses. One email to one person means nothing. 10 emails to that same person and we may get attention.

New members (First of all, welcome!): Please take the time to read through this header and the posts already on this forum. A lot of good ideas and thoughts you may want to consider.

A personal request:

I have been a SI member for a long time and enjoy it here. So, please let's keep it clean / factual and let's not use the "terms" we all feel like using right now.

Now let's go and get 'em boys and girls and may truth, honesty, ethics and fairness prevail!

Class Action:

A $80 Mil Class Action was filed Oct 09,2009:

Petition to Justice Minister Rob Nicholson

Please sign here: gopetition.com

The Petition:
If the court approves this sale as an alternative to avoid the public process of a bankruptcy, it will establish a precedent that many more public company Managers will follow. Honest shareholders will lose their investment money with nothing in return.

This practice will undermine small investor’s confidence in the equity market and the capacity of the regulatory agencies to act on their behalf.

We ask for an investigation to open Allen Vanguard books. We have solid reason to believe that an external audit will in no way validate the CFO’s Peter Allen numbers.
