    Graham -

    I believe you meant to say "...and the common stock is now worth very little" instead. The company is being auctioned off to collect "a few" bucks (loonies though). Oh, BTW, I worked for NT in the early seventies and I wonder why the Canadian government did not bail it out. I always thought that Canada is much more "socialistic" than its cousin to the south. Whereas, surprise, we have had so many bailouts of late. Mind boggling. Would you care to comment?
