Hio G64,

Thanks for the wishes and a magic Christmas to you as well.
U812, I doubt G64 will be gutted, I've always found him pragmatic but a little cynical about over optimistic views of stocks. Which is fair enough given Austpac's history. But as I have always said it's standing where you are now and looking forward to see what can be done that gives the results, the past just has lessons. Despite the cynicism of many, each time I've looked forward for Austpac, it's been worth holding or getting more.

Fergus probably has the best outlook for combining cynicism with pragmatism, he has set himself a time when he will get out if it doesn't come to fruition, a much more professional way of doing it.

Cheers

Seik
