B-patterson, interesting to read your comments comparing SOO/CBD to AIR.

I have had a good look at SOO and at a similar market capitalisation, I would definately prefer AIR over SOO.. I have lots of reasons, but basically I think for a similar price you are getting much better management and a better distribution/sales model, and this relates to much higher profits and ROE as someone said earlier. Interesting to see just how much AIR obliterates SOO in terms of profitability.

The huge canary in the coalmine are changes to the regulations and this does worry me, but im a happy holder of AIR for a while (see early comments on this board) and looking forward to the first dividend!
