We're fellow Canucks. Nortel was a great by 2000 at $0.83 (down from over
one hundred dollars a share)!
Since then, Nortel is worth far less than the $110.00 / share, but at
0.83,
it soared to $6.00! I've made money! Buy low! Sell High!
My money is with the Royal Bank of Canada, the 2003 Stanley Cup champs in
Ralleigh Durham North Carolina play NHL hockey in "The RBC Centre"
Royal Bank of Canada = RBC!
Ah! It's great being a Canuck!
