Copper Mountain Mining Corporation (CUM)

As of April 2nd, 2010

That little lot adds up to 226,200 shares (half of them late filed, too). Katusa still has 263,300 shares of CUM.to left in his portfolio (according to latest filings at least), but selling out nearly half a holding like this is worthy of scrutiny, especially when you consider his background:
