is this the straw that, page-25

Postmanpat,
My comment was in response to your claim that nothing had changed when clearly a lot has and for the better. Of course I'd like the sp to be higher but the company can do nothing about that. Besides, I've no intention of cashing in my profits just yet. Why would I when the business is growing strongly and I know that eventually that growth will be reflected in the sp?

I'm looking at the company, its prospects, and the sp, right now - not ten years ago - and in my view it's clearly a medium to long term buy.

Normally, with the annual report a couple of months away, I would expect the sp to rise in the short term on expectations but the overall market is extremly volatile and who knows what tomorrow will bring for this and any other stocks!
