Hi Captain,

Well done to you...!
No conspiracy theorist here.
I too have plenty of luck, mostly bad...

However my reason for entering VRL many many moons ago was their Shareholder Benefits Program. You probably recall, they previously posted out a booklet with massively discounted entry fees to movies, theme parks and VRL's many attractions. Having a young family at the time and more family on the Gold Coast it was a smart move. With the added bonus of dividends along the way and what will be a 100% capital appreciation (if this deal proceeds), it was a no brainer.

I too was fortunate to buy in the mid $1s and just sat on that for years until the recent CR, which I also participated in. So now the Shareholders Benefits Program is defunct this exit suits me just fine. I doubt very much I have the number of shares you hold, but a profit is a profit.

Unfortunately I also hold Ardent Leisure Group (ALG) for their Shareholders Benefits Program. That has been far less appealing with its returns.

Cheers, Merry Christmas and Good Luck to all VRL holders.
