I am a novice investor so I had to look up Shareholder Rights Plan. Can any of the more experienced investors tell me how this might effect the company?

Does it mean that there is perhaps an imminent takeover?

Perhaps I should stick to my gold and currencies!!

The shareholder rights doesn't mean there's an imminent takeover but, helps make it a little more difficult to acquire.

Haven't followed them daily but, it looks like a spec swing position may be a good choice. With all the recent news it seems they may be inline for some positive news come the first of next month.

Full disclosure I've picked up 50k of these partially because out of speculation and because of Obama's recent announcements regarding targets for the automotive sector.

I got some this morning at 0.225. It had a good day today! Hope it carries on. Good Pick!

psgama · 05-28-2009, 06:31 PM

Yeah, good pick. Picked it up a few weeks ago at $0.18. I'm expecting some great gains up to their meeting, and this award is sure to boost investor confidence as well :)

I'm tempted to average in another 90k in shares and just sit to see if it actually will hit $0.75 to $1 this summer.

psgama · 05-28-2009, 06:40 PM

Nice! I wish I had that kind of money to throw around, lol. I only have 6,000 shares.

AdamJ · 05-28-2009, 06:44 PM

We all start somewhere. I'll have to sell something to do it but, the horizon is shorter. Maybe looking at more like another 40k to make an even 100k. That DCA for 90k just doesn't make it worth it.

Wanted to get this in my TFSA before it jumped but, tomorrow's another day.

psgama · 05-28-2009, 07:08 PM

CIBC won't even let me by stocks in my TFSA yet!! Grrrrr. Just GIC's.

The dirty bankers! (No offense to any bankers out there, lol)

They said it'll be supported by September though so I guess I'm waiting so I can keep everything easily accessible.

AdamJ · 05-28-2009, 07:17 PM

I think you set up the wrong type of TFSA. You should have set up a TFSA trading account not the standard one. They were flogging the plain account at RBC until they realized that either BMO or TD was offering trading accounts.

The only downside is it's tough to take a loss when you can't claim it. Even if I cash out tomorrow to buy AZD I'm still up over 20% which is probably 4 or 5 times what a GIC is doing.
