re: sirtex valuation by ibis quonto

set out below is a table of contents for a standard $55 ibis report. It does not claim to include a valuation, or financial forecasts. these reports are prepared by trained monkeys, not people with expertise, skill and judgement. I would trust a macquarie report (did you know that they cover SRX??) over these guys any day.
