Q: Just a bit of math Gear is trading at .48 cents possibly due to Tax loss....does it make sense to buy it and hold it for a few months and receive .60 cents ????
that would be a 25% gain
I appreciate your advice,
Many thanks

Q: ..a poorly worded new release, convenient mail strike and a share price that keeps dropping. Would you hold GXE or dump it and never invest with that mgmt again?

Q: I have another question about the proposed deal to buy part of Gear and spin out the rest into a new company. Dave in his question on december 5th made it sound that us existing share holder will get 61 cents per share and 1 for 3 shares in the new company. The way I read the press release on the Gear website it is 61 cents or 1 for 3 shares in the new company. I hope Dave is right because then the current value of Gear shares is much greater. How do you read it? Is it and or or? Also what happens if the mail strike is prolonged and we don't get this circular in the mail. My email is full of so much junk that I could easily miss an email from Gear Energy and not vote. I think I am not the only one who would miss it. Also I know how to go to sedar's clunky website and look for stuff but everyone might not know/or want to do that. It seems a little fishy/stinky that this is being presented during a mail strike and they want to finalize this quickly (Jan or Feb). If Cenovous is the buyer then they will be able to take advantage of all the tax pools that Gear accumulated from their years of losses. If so they can pay more than $110 million for 3500ish BOE of production. Heck that is only a little over $30,000 per flowing barrel plus the benefit of using the tax pools. I understand why the purchaser wants this to go through quickly!!!!
