Hi, dmacd - You have it exactly right. I used to subscribe to that rag, but no more. Sure, anyone can tell you when to buy but they forgot the important part... when to sell. As far as I'm concerned, they didn't do any better than Milham. CB has evidently thrown in with the Bay Street trash: not only do they show a shameless disregard for their own position in this matter, they have evidently chosen to bite Wi-LAN in the journalistic frenzy that is sweeping the dregs of Toronto publishing these days. Trash. They don't even have enough integrity to show 20/20 *hindsight.* No matter: CB is right up there with those brain-dead bashers at Stockhouse, preening and strutting with their "I told you so's" to the discomfort of the longs. *Here's the fact: CB didn't* tell us so.** Despite the twists of fate, and the huge tasks facing the company and its management, they retain my confidence. Another year or two will prove the truth of the old saying "He who laughs last..." Jim

dmacd...I too recall the earlier article that portrayed WIN in a different light. My purpose in copying the article was not that I share his concerns with WIN but that it had been profiled in this CB so negatively. I believe the intent was to expose the conflicts inherent in analysts' opinions and prognostications. To bad some of the paint got splashed around. As a former banker, there is a common thread that prevails in CB and that is anti-bank. IMO, most of the articles are right on. An especially good one was in the June 12/98 issue "Dumb Money, Do you trust your financial advisor? Thankfully we have these forums to share, discuss and negate some of the damage. It helps to take the sting out because you can never do battle with anyone who buys their paper by the tonne and ink by the gallon. Rondo
