I can see how you'd be nervous about finally getting your pension money. I suppose the pension is underfunded on account of the huge layoffs Nortel seems to keep unleashing, and the number of those people who wisely opt to cash out their pensions. I was listening to a podcast, and an analyst figured that near term sales for telecom suppliers would be poor, since most telcos are going to want to cut back during the economic slump. Hopefully Nortel survives long enough for the next upturn or at least gets taken over. Hope your cheque (from Nortel) clears soon.
