Ann: Extension of Share Purchase Plan , page-26

I'm not trying to bait anyone, although I suppose I can imagine it may seem that way to anyone who is holding. If you're holding because you believe it's best my words shouldn't bother you, and if you're not feeling like holding is best I don't know why you wouldn't be selling.

Analysing the stock market and making predictions is a big part of taking part in it - this is even more true if you're holding. Strange that you would say it's bad to make predictions! Also, if we're only allowed to share analysis if our outlook is positive there's hardly any point in having a discussion, we can just replace every post on Hot Copper with "BUY BUY BUY!" (which is not far from the reality unfortunately!)

If they are planning to release news before the end date they're cutting it very fine! What did Mr. Stroud tell you last week? Surely he didn't tell you about the timing of release of price sensitive information, and if he said it to you surely you can share it with all of us. I do seem to recall you telling me he indicating that the SGS announcement was going to be released some time last year, so forgive me if I'm not convinced about what he said last week about this week.
