Adrian, you've documented the failure of Canadian fund managers to perform more thorough due diligence of companies like YBM, but I think that there's a little more to the story, and I'd like your thoughts.

I think that the fact so much managed money in Canada is RRSP related, and therefore ear-marked for Canadian companies, means that fund managers are not a diligent as they might otherwise be; when they find an apparently growing, RRSP-eligible company, they're so plagued by a lack of alternatives they quickly write a cheque.

I'm sure that others are simply lazy or poor managers, but maybe this plays some role as well.
