Review of Exco Technologies Ltd.

Q: What are your thoughts on the most recent quarter? It's interesting that you mentioned shareholders being frustrated with a stock in response to an earlier question today. I am certainly frustrated with this stock and I'm sure there are others as well. Based on your stock profile, the future earnings looks better so I intend to hold and I hope that today's release is the catalyst to an improved stock price. Do you foresee any change in expected future earnings?

Q: Can I ask you to do a “mental screen” for a few mid-cap Cdn companies that pay over a 3% dividend while having the potential for above average growth in the medium to longer term? Please omit SIS, PBH, EIF and NWC (already owned) and leave out anything in the energy sector. I’m assuming not much in the small cap space would meet the div. criteria and not much in the large cap space meets the growth criteria, but if you think anything there is compelling please include as well. Thank you.

Q: Exco reports on 31 January . Today ( 19 January ) some 234,441 shares traded , the majority between 4.30 -5.00 pm EST ( after normal trading hours ) .50 day average trading is 17,353 shares . The share price fell some 8% .
Now , does somebody know something that the rest of us don't ? I'm curious to know if the TSE regularly monitors unusual trading activity , and what action they take . Now this could just be an entry mistake , but I hope it doesn't mean something nasty on 31 January .
