Both Biggles and Herc nail it. I am a holder of Big Brother but because it is not in my top 2 for the year I don't comment on it -
That being said I like it despite it being beaten I think by Smurf because it is not the Big that eat the small but the fast that eat the slow....
There are many reasons why BBR is in the dog house right now but I am very confident it will rebound as Management does its thing with several quarters of sound targets.
MRL Corporation has a stacked, flush Shoe with high cards and like most people doing the maths I love how oversold and undervalued Smurf is .....
I also think BBR is able to attract investors now to the party and I am happy with its assets long term -
I predicted BBR trying to Crack .70 and most likely failing months in advance and it did not disappoint.
I also am predicting another attempt next year in the back half ....
Smurf was behind Big Brother until this year in many areas but has since overtaken them in my opinion - One of the reasons why Smurf was and is so attractive is it is a strong play for leverage and risk reduction in the Peer Group.
MRL Corporation in my opinion is one for the text books - Especially an example that Money and Production follow Management and Purity....
It does come down to the Fundamentals in my opinion; the Value will out as I say. The comparison between BBR and MRF reveals many stellar parallels in my opinion and also the importance of Management Risk Assessment. I am confident now we see which has had the better Management over the last 2 years.I expect this fact to be manifested in the re-rate most are expecting like Talga only I think it will be further and faster then Talga's ever was for obvious reasons!!!

A RESEARCH team from the University of Adelaide has scored a hat-trick, signing up a third graphite exploration company in three years to use its expertise.
WA-based MRL Exploration has signed a contract with the commercial arm of the university, Adelaide Research & Innovation, to test graphite from its projects in Sri Lanka for graphene.
Professor Dusan Losic and his team at the university’s School of Engineering will undertake tests to assess the yield and quality of graphene within the graphite, potentially increasing the value of the projects.
Graphene is a one layer-thick form of carbon, which is strong, light and an excellent conductor of electricity; it sells at a premium to conventional graphite.
“The tests are potentially highly significant to the economics of the company’s projects,” MRL Exploration said.
“The university was chosen because it was seen to be at the forefront of graphene research,” said MRL director Peter Youd.
“We have sent Professor Losic some prepared samples and a 2-3 kg lump of ore. The projects we are pursuing in Sri Lanka have historically been mined and have the highest-grade of graphene.
“When we spoke to Dusan, his reaction was simply ‘Wow’.”
Mr Youd said the agreement with the university covered payment for initial testing with the results expected soon.
“We will look at the assessments and decide on how we progress (with the uni) from there on,” Mr Youd said.
