CoastersRZ Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Hopefully the analysts on the call will ask some tough questions. Particularly with regards to the ability of Cedar Fair to refinance its debt. Obviously, they will be tight lipped about some things, as things are likely under negotiations, and therefore not able to be disclosed or discussed in a public manner. It will also be interesting to see if any of the analysts bring up questions about why they thought the merger was a good deal at the time and why the price of units has sky rocketed since the merger agreement was dissolved.

The Interpreter Posted April 15, 2010 Author Share Posted April 15, 2010 Note the new distribution methods for the call.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 So what is the difference between the two sites to listening to the conference call? Other than one being for the individual investor and one being password protected for the institutional investor. Is this a result of the poison pill program they initiated and the fact that Q has acquired so many units? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted April 15, 2010 Author Share Posted April 15, 2010 Nope. Institutional investors can ask questions. The regular site is "listen only." Terpy, who as a child was often told he was to be seen and not heard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 So is that a change from the past? Could institutional investors ask questions previously? I wonder if a representative from Q will be asking any questions during the conference call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted April 15, 2010 Author Share Posted April 15, 2010 I have not seen any information about how to access the institutional call disseminated in the past... And yes, Q may very well be seeking some A's. As interesting as this call may be, and it may very well be, I suspect the annual meeting will be even more so.
