That 500 000 buy order at 13c was illuminating - for the fact that there were no takers. It sat there for a week or more, untouched

13c per share represents an 8 per cent gain in 7 months - equivalent to a 14 per cent annual gain - on any shares purchased in last December's entitlement issue. Not a bad return, but no SRH shareholders were interested in taking it. Not one.

This company has performed remarkably well over the last two years, and holders clearly realise it.
