RE:last laugh@new2port. You are right. However, I don't think it is a laughing matter. AF was holding his course over 5 years when he increased his volume over 10 fold and and the shares tumbled to 1/4 from it's high. During the whole time he was profitable. Still, there are people who think he is to blame for the fiasco. I personally think that jopen 13 is right to blame CIBC. Others may have been involved as well but I certainly share his mistrust towards CIBC. In fact I could add a few of their transaction which made me come to the same conclusion.
