Lambda - fair enough, but I thought there was a line of posts recently saying that the huge majority of shares are in retail hands?

If so the insto can't control it?

Conference call - yes I have the same problems with some other companies. You see companies know that generally analysts will give then soft questions and not push too hard with any return serve. Thus they will generally always be asked their question and often allowed to ask supplementary question (all takes up valuable time and reduces the chances of a nasty retail SH asking a hard question).

So, IMO, conference calls are somewhat loaded for the benefit of the company PR.

However this is very much at the CEOs door not the instos :-) And if you don't like the CEO then say so at the AGM.
