It's very confusing to me that he can do this without undue influence.

Q: I have held Enercare and Just Energy for approx the same amount of time. ECI has performed very well while JE is stagnant. Both have provided a Nice Income Stream which is important.

ECI's position would become approx 3% of my total holdings.
May I have your opinion on this move and some of the reasons.
