Looks like they are in a holding patern until the share issue is bedded down. In regard to transition to retirement, I enjoyed reading your reference by TMF, especially the comments on income of greater than 8%. I don't have a full understanding of taxation within US retirement funds, but think we are one up on them with respect to franking credits. With respect to baby boomers and their participation in the markets, those that I talk to, that have grown up with investing, will stick with it while their brains are still serving them well - I would expect into their late 70s. Those that have not grown up with it (more than 50%) will be more inclined to hand it over to financial advisers or put it in an LIC. How is the course going? Good to see you can still find the time to continue posting. Regards West Wind Hi Dean

Catch the Wind have made one sale! Hopefully the first of many. I think the current price is good, it back to where I bought in. They report on April 8th. Thanks again for your terrific writeup on transition to retirement. It's interesting that you've reverted back to accumulate from diversified, I think that may be a trend with baby boomers. Whereas most people expected them to leave the equity market and thus create a downdraft, I think they'll have to remain heavily invested in equities to give them the growth required to sustain their desired life styles.

I caught your post over at the liquid lounge and enjoyed the write-up. I agree, this company sounds like they have some good technology and big time potential. The dilution of shareholders ths far has been huge and it is certainly a big risk at this point. I'll probably pick up a few shares to keep the company on the radar and look forward to the March call. Tom Thanks for the intro to the company.

(TSX-V: CTW.S) announced today the launch of Racer’s Edge® laser wind sensor (LWS), the world’s first hand-held device that provides accurate wind speed and direction measurement data for use in sailing, boating and other sporting events where knowledge of wind conditions is a contributing factor to performance. Racer’s Edge® LWS will be first deployed by the BMW ORACLE Racing team during the 33rd America’s Cup Match scheduled to take place in February 2010, in Valencia Spain. Racer’s Edge® LWS is a natural extension of Catch the Wind’s fiber-optic laser wind sensing technology currently in use by the renewable wind energy sector for increased energy output production and reduced stress loads on equipment.
