Hi all DES fans,

I was shocked to see a description of DES on the QFX board described as:

'The bricks n mortar operation that has everyone fooled into thinking they are "online".'

Of course I queried what was meant by it, and received a 'reasonable' response / justification, although I still don't consider the original statement reasonable. Whilst I could research facts and put forward a counter-argument, I'm not quite sure if I will continue the dialogue, it's probably not worth the negative energy. That said, I thought I'd mention it here in case anyone else wanted to have a look, and possibly a comment or two if so inclined.

If for no other reason, it's interesting to hear an outsider's take on destra, so possibly worth the read.

On a more positive track, its good to see the SP slowly recovering a bit again, although it has a long way to go to get back to fair value, never mind trading on potential. Talking of which, it's been a while since any major announcements (other than annual reporting) ... they must be in a major consolidation phase with MPH, which is fair enough.

Cheers all.
