In my time of knowing some execs and hearing and seeing such activity among grown people that should show better manners, It usually involves a big stock holder that got their feelings hurt or an ego that got a group to gang up on the boss. From what I can get of this, THIS WILL BE INTERESTING, and mabe a time to buy the stock on bad news. For what its worth.

I don't think bombardier is something that I would be too interesting in buying, it's just a little too dicy as far as how much government support they garnish, and the fact that those airbus people are giving them such a good run for thier money competition wise. One company I did want to buy when it was down was Nortel. They were bobbing around $1 a while back and I thought I should put a little in there........ sure would have paid off had I bought. Ah well, would have, could have, should have.

Perhaps they should start thinking about freight locomotives and freight cars for example. To expand what I said, freight car manufacturing is a little small compared to the U.S. Where as we only have really one independant freight car manufacturer (National Steel Car), the U.S has Trinity, Greenbrier and Johnstown America. To my knowledge, Tascona Shops which is a CN subsidy I believe, is to be closed and Procor manufactures the odd car through its parent company Union Tank Car. I think Bombardier might have a change on some freight cars if it really wants to. What do you think?
