Mr. Brinks, you underestimate me. You said, "look before you leap" ... good advice indeed, perhaps you should have heeded your own advice. Knowing how weasels can make their escapes thru the tiniest of openings, and knowing how akin to the aforementioned mammAL he is, what you mistake for my confusion, was in fact the only avenue of escape intentionally left open for AL. Unfortunately, while "rushing" to prove the old adage that ends in the phrase "... where angels fear to tread", you have accidentally tripped the snare that surrounded that hole deliberately left open. While it's nice of you and others to rush to his defence, it's fairly obvious that it is AL's veracity that I am trying to impugn here. Seeing as he is such a man of honor(?), why don't we afford him the chance of redeeming that honor and disproving my assertions. Although anything *could have happened* in those approximately 104 minutes between market opening and the time of his post #136207 at StockHouse, the only sure way for him to disprove my claim is to submit to this forum the approximate time (stated clearly in either Eastern or Pacific time zones) of his trade(s), along with the price(s) paid, total quantity purchased, and brokerage house executing his trades. Of course in choosing to do so, he will have to bear in mind that I (and perhaps Mike) will be using the daily trade data available via Canada StockWatch to verify his statements. Also, assuming that his statements will indeed be able to be verified successfully, he'll have to know that having identified his brokerage house, we'll then be able to go back to Tuesday July 7th trades (the day he originally sold his WT shares) and cross-check the trading of his brokerage house for that day as well. AL has an excellent opportunity here to turn the tables on me ... however, should he decline to do so, my statements stand unchallenged.
