and I've pasted some info so that the question can be referenced.

In trying to put two and two together as to why the top brass could be in NY of late, is there not a component of listing on the TSX that requires filing on the U.S. side as well? To wit:

In 2002 the TSX went public and was thus placed in the curious position of trading its own shares, necessitating a stronger focus on independence and corporate governance among its board of directors. Among other steps it took to preserve its integrity was the transfer of regulatory duties to Market Regulation Services Inc and the Investment Dealers Association. In the same year, Standard and Poor's assumed responsibility for the TSE 300 index, which was subsequently rebranded the "S & P/TSX Composite Index."

Now, I admittedly am weak in this area of knowledge, so I'm curious to hear from anyone else in regards to this matter who has more knowledge than me.

As well, I was re-thinking my previous John Harvey post, and it's possible this could be a bull-trap of epic proportions. If the prevailing attitude is "Nothing's happening here for the next couple of months" price-wise, a shorter could assume there is the possibility for more SP slippage, and thus, no hurry to cover. If our gang comes back with some unexpected news, it would be very unfortunate for those with short positions.

Anyways, looking forward to hearing back from the forum on this matter.
