Most welcome Jim

Gosh glad you posted I hope no one else is left in the dark. Good question, obviously your pretty disgusted can't say I blame you. In all honesty I don't see this as any ruse or any intentional headfake , shakeout however you wish to label it I just see this as a necessary business move. I talked to the people at Clearly Canadian whom I have invested with before for example, they were in almost the same boat as GBRT. They found the CNQ very cooperative and were equally impressed with CNQ management but tantamount to there restructuring were very considerable savings being on the CNQ listing as opposed to the Venture Exchange. Same goes for GBRT who is to say GBRT won't go back on Venture it's strictly a dollars and cents priority CNQ is filling a growing need here for sensibility and moderation when it comes to listing fees.

I'm holding now until Q3 at least Jim that looks to be the best time for any substantial gains I like the sound of Brazil, it's coming along nicely. There could be more to this SuperNet JV and the MSN certification won't be clear cut but that to is bound to bring us more revenue.

I aim to average down in the summer when all is quiet and boring as can be! :) Wow chowed down on 60 cent shares eh? OUCH gotta be discouraging , it's your money but I would tend to hold now that we appear to have a good chance on rising from the ashes. I tell you one thing you have a lot of respect from me in just being able to admit you made such a costly error , obviously you couldn't know ahead of time c'est la guerre. Lesser men wouldn't be able to own up they made a mistake good on yah!

As far as I can tell thus far Action Direct will trade CNQ stocks online for me. I have heard of other cheaper deals but in all fairness I'd stick with the bigger names there are hooks in these supposedly cheap brokers that end up costing you about the same anyway. BEFORE signing up though get clear assurances IN WRITING that whatever bank you choose will trade your CNQ stocks. That will save you a lot of wrangling if they back out.

I had Nesbitt Burns back out on me because of the pinks they wanted to distance themselves, so when the my broker of 9 years moved on absolutely NO ONE would take up the slack in my account at Nesbitt Burns I was unceremoniously DUMPED. It cost me a lot of money and hassles extraordinaire so get clear commitment before signing up for any new broker. I should think Scotia TD or RBC should be fine online but check FIRST Jim. BMO InvestorLine will make you trade pinks ( and I suspect CNQ also here) over the phone which obviously is totally unsatisfactory in this day and age. Also check with the CNQ they should be able to steer you straight.

Good Luck Jim I don't know if we'll hit 60 cents again who can say, but I'd be inclined to let the mess sit and appreciate until fall see what parts of the jigsaw Rob can piece together for us all. That way you won't get fleeced near as bad at least is my present day thinking here.

Thank you for posting Jim chances are if you got sandboxed so did others still wrestling with the "what next?" scenario they now face.

ALL you realize jim greco? JMVHO sir GLTY!

Best...Rich
