Damo

Firstly I must say that on re-reading my reply to your post it was a little abrasive and probably did tend toward an insult for which I apologise. However I too could call you to order on referring to me as a Moron which I find offensive. Although, you may be right, as I did buy quite a large holding of VBA at .20c but spoilt it by buying more at .315c, but thems? the breaks! Despite all the gloom and doom of the world you bring in your posts I still believe that what?s happening at VBA is very positive and will deliver some solid gains. YES the airline industry is volatile, just had to hear Mr Joyce speaking about QAN last night!!

I am trying to decipher whether you mean I am,
Celeberial ? Celebr?an is a fictional character created by J. R. R. Tolkien. She is an Elven noblewoman?
OR
Cerebral ?Appealing to or requiring the use of the intellect; intellectual rather than emotional?

However on reflection I'm neither, just a ordinary fella.

As for your reference to Moron ?Psychology, A person of mild mental retardation having a mental age of from 7 to 12 years and generally having communication and social skills enabling some degree of academic or vocational education. The term belongs to a classification system no longer in use and is now considered offensive.?
You may reconsider the use of this terminology in the future!!

As for the Maths Dept. From your post ??. ?I have put a buy order in at 20 cents for about 10k?. Mathematically let me say 10,000 shares @ .20c = $2,000. Should you have said $10K @ .20c then obviously the maths would have been different.

To dispel your comment ? ?For the aliances to be formed with Delta, Etihad, Air NZ and Singapore A/lines , you need to know before blindly swooping on more shares it is still subject to approval of the regulatory aviation powers that be.? I refer you to various announcements by VBA which point to some degree of certainty of the Alliances,

Virgin Australia welcomes DOT decision on Delta Alliance
Final ACCC Approval for Etihad Alliance

Air New Zealand - FIRB Approval

Virgin Blue and Skywest Sign 10 Year Strategic Alliance

ACCC approves Etihad and Air NZ Alliances

As to the comment re fuel hedging you may also like to read about the appointment of a new CFO.
Appointment of Chief Financial Officer.

Anyway Damo, all the best with your intending purchase. For one displaying ?no stock held? why bother posting such watery ramblings that do nothing other than smack of down ramping.

Firthy

PS. the DER was der, in the context of what was that all about, not a reference to stutter, sorry. As for ?Mono Brained Celled Misanthrope? NO I am not ?A person who dislikes humans. Misanthropy is generalized dislike, distrust, disgust, contempt or hatred of the human species or human nature. A misanthrope is someone who holds such views or feelingskind and avoids human society? and I think it is called not celled.

Geez, AND you feel insulted!!!!!
