marek_wojna, Ack! The Globe and Mail... I never thought to look there. I had searched the major press wires, the WSJ press library, etc... But the Globe and Mail never entered my mind. It should have though. My bad... Hmmm... In looking at what the author (Taylor) wrote about Bombardier, it doesn't sound illegal or otherwise inflating to earnings. At worst, it might be deceptive to those among us who use cash flow as a measure of a company's performance. I generally use earnings, and only glance at cash flow to ascertain that growing cash flow is likely coming from revenues, rather than other sources (such as investments). So I don't think that Bombardier's transgression is too egregious. However, in today's environment, even the hint of something improper could severely affect a company's stock price, so you're probably correct to avoid any trades in Bombardier until the situation resolves itself. I'll continue to watch, but not establish a position in Bombardier. Thanks... KJC
