BCE stock suffering from Nortel connection
Article Abstract:
Montreal, Quebec-based BCE Inc.'s 40% stake in Brampton, Ontario-based Northern Telecom Ltd. is pulling its stock down. Concerns have been raised on Northern Telecom's overseas and Internet business as well as on recent announcement to lay off 586 jobs when the firm closes a wireless-equipment facility in the UK. BCE, the biggest telecommunications holding firm in Canada, is the biggest shareholder in Northern Telecom. BCE is also vulnerable to other factors such as changing interest rates because it is a utility-based stock.

Image problerms plagues CAE shares
Article Abstract:
Flight-simulator system maker CAE Inc has posted a profit of C$16.7 million in the 1st qtr of the current fiscal year, up by 28.5% from C$13 million in the year-ago period. The strong performance came mainly from its commercial flight simulator and sawmill control business. However, CAE shares remained stuck between C$8 and C$10 as investors continue to shy away from the stock because of the company's image problem.
