Allied to the point above. They may have sniffed the wind, being a long short - absolute return fund. Cu has run hard, they can see the long forward buy's had peaked short term versus the sells so they traded. It's happening across the board in Cu developers.

In fact overall the SP has gone up so they're being better than replaced. At least Ellerston had the stones to support the co- this far. All IMVHO.
