I"m a shareholder in a stock that I see your firm makes a market in. It trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange. It"s called Golden Minerals. On the TSX website, I see that CIBC, for the past several days, has been on the offer (42 out of 50 trades for a good portion of the day today). I was wondering if CIBC is trading this stock for its own proprietary trading account, or is representing retail/institutional clients. I"m also curious to know if CIBC is squaring off their daily positions in this stock.

If there is someone at your firm who can comment on this, or perhaps speak with me about it, I would greatly appreciate it.

BTW, I'm not trying to question anyone on this site, but I'm still dumbfounded that there isn't a shred of outrage about the performance of this stock, on this board. Look what Gold did today, and yet AUMN goes up .12, and then wham. If it's not allowed to go up on a day like today, then we're in serious trouble!!!!!!!!!!!!!
