To elaborate what ToucanYoucan stated about the reverse stock split of bgl. The reason for bgl to do a reverse stock split which Are Normally Bad News is because companies normally execute reverse share splits in order to retain their listing on the Canadian stock exchange. They receive a notice from the exchange that if their stock remains at that level they risk being delisted. And it keeps their stockprices out of the cellar. A large percentage of companies that execute reverse splits will continue trading lower after the split. Keep this in mind - a reverse stock split is normally a very big red flag. Since it's done for purely cosmetic reasons and doesn't change a company's finances, themarket knows it and the company gets penalized. Most companies end up seeing their stock prices continue to slide. Reverse splits have a negative stigma. A lot of investors don't have a lot of confidence in a company that gets its stock up through a reverse split. They think the company is playing games and trying to get credit for something they don't deserve!
