Vanishing Species As second quarter earnings season ramps up , many of the major producers are expected to ramp up their share buy back programs. Since major holders do not usually participate in the NCIB s. This will have the effect of weeding out the retail ranks. These ranks are already low ever since the onslaught of ETF s, options trading and the dearth of IPO s for the better part of a decade (ever since the Energy trusts were shut down under Flaherty )
In light of all the above, and to commemorate the destruction of retail capitalism, I would highly recommend that the govenment create a new commemorative stamp in order to enshrine the loss for all future generations to see .
Only one small problem , how do you create a virtual stamp !!
