Personally I couldn't give 2 hoots if they target American or Canadian investors, so long as whoever they target can trade on the TSX. Just as Canadians can trade on NASDAQ, NY and Pink Sheets, Americans can trade on our exchange. We even have a poster on this board who's based in the UK. When they make their first email shot it will no doubt put DYA on the radar of some serious investors, and as such it will likely take a while to create volume as they will probably watch the SP, volume and news for a while before jumping in. I can't see anyone choosing to trade on Pink Sheets in DYFSF personally, the SP is about the same and it's a more volatile trading environment with daily limit trades.
AIS don't have the official IR position yet, that will hopefully be granted after a successful Awareness Campaign. AIS approached DYA toward the latter part of 2007, and apparently Jerry Solensky Jr is an important part of the equation, which is great news. As you say Joe, this is a great step forward for DYA and it's investors, something that we have wished for and something that is long overdue. Inevitably some will find reason to complain though. C'est la vie.
Fingers crossed. GLTA.
