Some of the most active companies traded Tuesday on the Toronto Stock Exchange:
Toronto Stock Exchange (13,411.63, down 70.99 points):
Orbite Technologies Inc. (TSX:ORT). Miner. Down half-a-cent, or 1.06 per cent, to 46.5 cents on seven million shares.
Surge Energy Inc. (TSX:SGY). Oil and gas. Down 18 cents, or 6.23 per cent, to $2.71 on 6.8 million shares.
Amaya Inc. (TSX:AYA). Online gaming. Down $10.13, or 32.44 per cent, to $21.10 on 6.4 million shares. The company that runs the PokerStars online gambling business is lowering its financial expectations for 2015, in part because the stronger U.S. dollar has sapped the purchasing strength of its customers and eaten into revenue. Amaya chairman and CEO David Baazov also said that the Montreal-based company has delayed the rollout of “significant aspects” of its new online sportsbook while it makes enhancements and completes the product.
Bombardier Inc. (TSX:BBD.B). Aerospace, rail equipment. Down five cents, or 3.33 per cent, to $1…

Mint, a personal finance service is owned by Intuit, has 2.5 million daily users. BillGuard, which monitors for fraudulent transactions, has 1.3 million users and was bought by the lending company Prosper earlier this year.
But these sites and apps depend on data from all of each user’s financial institutions, data that is extremely sensitive and extremely valuable for marketing financial products…
