AVRO, page-267

Yes I have been paying close attention as I have a large portion of my net worth in AVR. I am not persuaded that any monkey business was behind the mess that the option trading became. It is my belief that the small holder trading came as a surprise and greatly complicated the procedure, which then couldn't cope. In my view maybe Commsec should have been coopted but that is for another day. But it is what it was. I hope that the good news flow will be good for all of us but for a mixed metaphor one shouldn't let one's hopes and aspirations get in the way of one's abilities. Everybody knows that the news is expected to be good but we have just increased our shares on issue by 36% if I have done my sums correctly. None of those mystical companies supposedly lusting after our product made a move as that happened.. Not sure why they will be queueing to pay $9 and then $10 in the near future after ignoring such an opportunity. This issue will take a long time to digest in my view with a big bunch of traders anxious to sell into any sp rise. No new boats by this Christmas. I like to be realistic but very happy to be 100% wrong!
