Yes, we did and early investors made five bags or better.

thats what i see also so I will wait for a down turn as it appeqars to be in development
Greenbriar is at 52 week highs and I dislike Sedar filing system. Pain in the ass. It would be great if Jeff put this company on the QX as well.
not that I am aware of
Does this company also cross file on the QX and have a US listing? Thanks.
Thanks for the heads up, I will take a look.
thanks i got the call letters mixed up
Jeff is the head of greenbrier/gbt/tsx,v. it has been a pleasure chating good luck in the future
Im out as of today guys, no need to wait for 2% more or so. Its been a great investment since 09 for me when I started accumulating at .50
I am sure many of you guys also have banked some very respectable coin, and done it the old fashioned way with proper due diligence and guts. While it appears that ole Jeff C. might not be the most amicable person to deal with personally, he certainly did do everything he said he would and he did it on time and on budget. I have to say I am quite impressed with his leadership and business-building skills. If anyone hears of Jeff C. starting another company from scratch please let me know on our Progressive Stocks board.
Best wishes to all here in their investments and I certainly have appreciated all the input over the years.
malc
I see we have lost the war, it was a good run and we all made some money it has been nice talking to the board and good luck with future investments
I was also, as his inital report was the oppasite, Somthing doesn;t smell right here. I hope That jeff has a grip on the situation and gets a better offer.
What a mess this whole sale process has become. I was quite surprised by the recent Tom Konrad article. Anyway, that point is moot, shareholders have rejected the Brookfield bid of 2.60 and I suppose I will be holding to see what happens next in this soap opera.
I am with you on that they should either give a fair offer of back off.imop
Holding all shares. These shenanagins by Brookfield to attempt to steal the company are tedious and quite annoying at this juncture.
Hurry up and wait: Brookfield extended their deadline by 10 days, claiming to be "close" to getting enough shares. See http://brookfieldrenewable.com/content/2013/brookfield_renewable_extends_offer_for_western_win-36666.html.
And WND's response: http://www.westernwindenergy.com/s/News_Releases.asp?ReportID=570444&_Type=News-Releases&_Title=Brookfield-Fails-to-Obtain-Sufficient-Shares-for-Permitted-Bid-Western-Wind....
This is tedious!
If a co gets 50% of the shares the sale process would stop and we would have to take what the co offers. Companys that are in the market do not like lose cannons running around. It will have to be a package that everyone feels comfortable with. with brookfield as such a large shareholder that poses some risk to potential buyers in my opinion.I am counting on a higher bid as we are making money and a lot of it, 200,000 every day that sounds very positive to me.
Honestly, I dont know what is going on either but I do know one thing, I am not accepting 2.60 anymore than 2.50 for my shares.
If it turns out to be a bad move, so be it, but I think all these scare tactics on behalf of Brookfield to take the company for less than half fair value will fail in the end.
Holding.
Perhaps potential buyers are worred Brookfield could cease control and block any sale agreement?
And here's Western Wind's take on OSC ruling and sales process: http://www.westernwindenergy.com/s/News_Releases.asp?ReportID=570138&_Type=News-Releases&_Title=Update-on-OSC-Hearing-and-Sales-Process.
I'm no expert on these matters, but when WND says, " Such a complete withdrawal will allow Western Wind to continue with a normal sales process, which has never been given a reasonable opportunity to be freely pursued since the launch of the sales process on July 30th. " I don't understand.
Why can't they pursue another buyer just because Brookfield is sniffing around? This sounds like an excuse and the sale may not be in good shape after all!?
Opinions?
We are going to have some news today in response to that . We will recover, nothing is ever as easy as we would want some one is always putting up road blocks. I have held on for a lot of years I will wait till the end

Anyone care to comment? The stock market did not like this news!
The co is going to be sold and I am thinking we are not going to get fair market value for some reason just a hunch more than anything.Brookfield have made a poor attemt at making themselves look good. I for one am enbaresed by there actions and informed them when they called and told them to up the offer and make a real bid and quit embarasing themselves. I still think we will get a better bid,I am concerned that yucaba never closed when they said it would and that we would have a better offer when it did. The last week of Jan,1st week of feb. It seems like thay are trying to drag this out for some reason. I am waiting for everything to play out and see where it goes. If there was anything in the pipeline the share prices would be the first indiator and it hasn't happened yet. Maybe all we have is tire kikers and everyone trying to buy on the cheep. Lets hope for better thing to come and quickly as i am disapointed as of today. But i am still holding
Brookfield is trying hard to drum up our shares. I just received my offer in the regular mail today, again, to accept their offer of 2.60 this go around, which expires on Feb 11th and it the last and final offer. LOL. How are we supposed to vote our shares by then, well, I suspect an electronic proxy vote is coming up again via notification from the brokerages. Of course we are going to reject this and personally I am getting offended at the tactics.
Brookfield is trying to accumuluate shares off the open market, make no doubt, in the interim between all these shady manuevers to rake real assets on the cheep that are not in a dire position by any means. I find it pathetic, and at this juncture, fully transparent about their character.
I was hoping for a better PR as in a altenative bid to Brookfields, they say it is in the pipeline. I want to see it in the headlines just sounding off.
I added at the first of the week at 65 I should have waited, my bad I will see on monday whats up This week or next should be the anouncement of the bidds and closing of yacuba I haven't looked up how to spell the sight as of late, I think you know what i mean
I added some 2.38's today. I am confident that the 2.50/share offer will be rejected tommorrow and still stick by my 4.25/share target. Good value for both the buyer and us stockholders.
Brookfild has gotten 300 million in placements to buy wndef so that will bring a bid of about 4 or so before to long.I think we will see a 4 bid before the yakaba closing in my opinion
I have been talking to a big shareholder and he said that there is a better offer coming as soon as they close yucaba, I feel very strong that we are in for some nice profits
OK understood. Im content to hold and see what actually comes out of all of this.
The sight I use is TD Waterhouse it is out of Toronto they list and follow cdn co. They follow us co also but are more informed on cd co. My posting skills are limited so using a link is beond my capabilaties at this time,type in brookfiels stock letters it will come up
Hmmm, now that is interesting. Could you link where you found that info please? Thanks.
Brookfield just isued a 100 million placement looks like they are getting ready to put in a real bid, and not some fluff scar tactic BS
Interesting that the BOD put out a "No Recommendation" opinion on whether or not shareholders should accept the Brookfield offer for 2.50/share.
Vote is Jan 26th, and Ive already submitted my proxy, I voted to not accept that lowball offer.
Here is the opinion of Tom Konrad:
http://www.forbes.com/sites/tomkonrad/2013/01/22/brookfields-expiring-offer-for-western-wind/?partner=yahootix
Certainly plausible thanks
More wishful thinking than anything.Evaluating other wind and solar sales on a per KW average we should be up there if all things are equal
The financing on yucaba should be done at the end of jan, or the begining of feb, then the bids will be let out of the bag/imop
Are you high by any chance ?
We only have weeks to go now fellow investors then we will see the benifites of our patience. I would not be suprised at an 8 dollar bid.
Todays news translated - More waiting.
If $2.50 is the worst-case scenario, that's a pretty good risk/reward @ $2.80 ... I'm definately holding my shares!!
Brookfield has been trying to scare people into selling there shares at a low value knowing the real value in the co. With 60 million in revenues and 70 million shares I think that the valuation would be somwhere around the 5-6 dollar range In my opinion, but if i knew what the real story is with the co i might have a different view, Holding to the finish line.
The wind tax credits have passed last second of course, and no word from the company in 2013, not surprising in my opinion, will be awaiting the results of the latest lame ass attempt to persuade shareholders to accept a buyout offer at 2.50/share.
Not that the wind credit extension for 2013 means a whole lot to the bottom line worth of Western Wind, but it is a factor and piece of the pie. Shareholders will have to tough it out until after the result of the latest shenanagin is known, to see anything new regarding company sale status, IMO.
Personally Im holding.
When the cows decide to come home.
