Ann: Chairman's Address to Shareholders, page-64

Haha nice one. Well, I've been in business for 30 years and never made a loss.
Optiscan has been in business for 17 years and never made a profit.
However, I am not saying sell.
I think most are so low now that it's worth a punt.
Throw in the bottom drawer and hope for the best.
I would say hold. I certainly would not say Buy unless I knew something the market didn't.
With so many shares on the ASX why would you rate OIL a buy?
I don't go to the casino and don't see them as a buy.
CZ is promising, but so was Pentax at the time.
Small companies playing with big fish can end up badly.
They end up totally dependent on one big player rather then setting their own course.
That's the game OIL has been playing and it has so far lead nowhere except to cause pain among some very loyal holders.
