You are right about the losing money aspect. I guess one quarter of $0.15 a share earnings is not enough to get everyone on the bandwagon no matter how good the press releases are. This dinosaur business is quite interesting, if it could catch on like flight simulators have (seems like every big amusement park has one or two) there could be a good source of revenue here for Spar. (I think Seven Flags is an amusement park competitor to Disney).
The fourth quarter numbers have been out for some time but the price drop seemed to coincide with a rash of releases by Comstream, none of which looked negative. That's why I wondered if I was missing something. Volumes were fairly low and high tech is all getting lit up so we might just have a good buying opportunity soon.

I believe that the Halltrain robotic dinosaur division is a fairly small part of the Spar corporation,
but also heard it mentioned that Spar could move in the theme
park direction in a bigger way.

SPZ is no longer a independent company; tt appears Spar Aerospace was sold to L-3 and MacDonald Dettwiler.

The Toronto based company was founded as Special Products and Advance Research Division of De Havilland Canada on January 1, 1968. The division was later spun off as a separate company.
