Metanor - What about the short position (bedlow) that was referenced earlier in opzeeland's excellent post?

If it is the precursor to a bid, there doesn't have to be any fact based reason, the lousy bustards can take anything down if they want to bad enough.

The recent Metanor shorting activity is reproduced below, from TSX data:-

For me, the chief deficit of Metanor, and what prompted me to sell out some time ago, is the management. They have a history of saying one thing and doing another, particularly with respect to PPs, and also often fail to meet deadlines. In that space I prefer RIC.TO, ER.TO, and (stretching the definition a bit) CFO.V.
