Adrian I have to congratulate you for your outstanding work over the last several years. Have you ever thought about doing paid research on behalf of investors and analysts? Although it is clear they could use your help maybe some of them are just not ready for some real due diligence. Why not start a newsletter? I'll finance it.

The mutual business has become so competitive that many fund managers go for the performance at the expense of properly assessing risk. It is my direct experience that the public is totally in the dark when it comes to really understanding the capital markets in Canada. I could tell you horrifying stories over a beer one day.

I was surprised to see your name on SI. Personally, I read and post messages on SI for kicks and I never cease to be amazed at how unsophisticated retail investors can be. Many of them are so convinced they are right about their investments that they attack anybody that doesn't share their views. The whole Internet phenomena is just making things worst, exposing hundreds of thousands of investors to the games of unscrupulous promoters. And from what I can see even the small guys are getting into this dangerous game. I have read posts that clearly contain insider information. When I point out that fact I get several messages where people state that the Internet is great for making that kind of information available to the small guys.

Anyway, that's small stuff compared to the professional work you do.
Keep up the good work. We need more people like you.
