Many thanks, Sir J.
...and for you JGPM, I made my "financial decision" probably like stacks of other Mum and Dad investors, based on the fundamental information available to me via the announcements out there in the market place and the company's own website. I'm not a H-U-G-E investor (like yourself apparently, one who appears to know the book on investing inside-out and is sweating on every breath MA or other MD's take, moreover I'm a punter. Yep, thats right a punter. You see, I'm retired and what little I have outside of my usual comfort daily expenses, I've managed to save up and have a punt. But not just a stab in the dark bet, an investment. Something I'll sock away for a few years and have something in return via divies to spend on some other luxuries. As I said, I am retired and I don't need or want for much any more, just to be able to continue being happy with my wife and seeing the sun come up each day. I play bridge and I enjoy cooking. I even enjoy learning new things. HotCopper has been a conduit for those little things which I learn regarding the market. I don't attend those hard-sell seminar's as they're loaded with speaker's with other thing's on their own agenda other than helping out people who seek information. So poster's like Sir John above are refreshing contributors to these types of forums. You as well JGPM, I have enjoyed reading your post's too - thank you. But please don't take the (whatever) out of me, as it's been done already by professionals many years ago. You are entitled to your opinion and I respect that. I'm sorry if I have taken too much of your time reading this, but I have stack's of it on hand. Sincerely though, I hope you go well with your investments. Everyone deserves to (including me!). It's now over to MA and his fellow director's to do the right thing for us - which I'm sure they will.
JGPM, Have a great day!
