Oscar,
Dang! ... what a good idea re. the tax-loss. I can't believe I didn't think of that. I wish you'd mentioned it a few days earlier, so that I'd have the funds in the bank account to work it. Then again, you were hoping the SP would go up, not down, so I suppose it wasn't the best strategy to suggest on a share forum!
I love the 'Des of our lives' bit on the other thread ... very clever.
Cheers.
