Bell Potter and Roth shared the work on the $27m CR in 2014. I too am cautious of reports from 'conflicted' brokers. Say what they will, I have a low opinion of chinese walls ( or rather, chinese walls are too low in my opinion).
I think you are wise, Thwack, to take a judicious view of the Roth opinion. Although I don not think they spout rubbish, there is an element of hyperbole.
