Well said Davo, I agree totally with all you have said. Public share ownership always dives off during down turns in the market. To quote an article today "The latest Australian Share Ownership study released on Tuesday showed 6.7 million people, or 41 per cent of adults, participated in the share market.

The figure was down from 46 per cent when the last study by the Australian Securities Exchange (SX) was conducted in 2006, and well off the 55 per cent peak in 2004...."

As usual, there are many factors at work which will affect the share price and uptake of offers, some have been discussed by others here today.

I remain confident in the abilities of axm staff and the resources that they operate. This will be reflected in the sp sooner rather than latter.
