chairmans address is out on asx, page-24

Bought my first buy and hold FPO CTP in early October, I have been adding on and off since....and reading the chairmans address, one can not help being impressed, so I'll probably load up with more.

I think what has really got me hooked is the shear scale, quality and quantity of prospects over such a large area, high profile positive management personnel with all the right experience and in a sector which will only get stronger with the passing of time. My gut (important aspect for me) feeling is that this company will be the 'real' deal. There are many would be's if they could be's out there, but only a few have the key ingredients that can propel a minnow into a major.

No point me waxing lyrical over the various prospects as it has been done ad nauseum for a long time (love the enthusiasm) and there are long termers here who share their considerable knowledge with great insight and sincerety.

The remainder of this year and all of the next promises to be 'momentous' without getting too carried away with the superlatives.

So much so, that I suspect in the not too distant future I may be able to support my wife "in a manner to which she is unaccustomed" if I may borrow the words of Collen McCulloch !

Good luck to all CTP diehards.
