Thank you Slushy. That is the best post I've seen here in days and very encouraging.
I especially liked "However, the exchange verbally told him that this is the largest deals that the Vancover Exchange has every saw."
I was hoping this to trade before Christmas, but think I will just resign myself to continue being patient and try to just look forward to a lovely "green" new year instead of a blockbuster Christmas. Like Skinny3 says, at least we won't have to worry about taking capital gains for another year if we do.
