'But back to the topical topic of Aussie bashing, guess it would be committing the cardinal sin to suggest I'd really like to see an Oz company succeed at this.'

You may need to read these posts again - it was Malay bashing not Aussie bashing. Not sure where you draw this line from, unless you feel that criticism of LYC is an anti Aussie thing?

Chill out, lay back and have another glass of that good wine.

I would agree with you that it is great to see an Aussie company do well on the international stage, and there are many who are very successful and with a lot less than the $1b+ raised by LYC over the years. Currently LYC is not one of them. Unfortunate but just the way it is.

It may be the case that it's just not possible to compete with China in this space.

However we will have a clearer picture in only a few weeks so not long to wait and deal with those anxious thoughts. For those buying at current levels there is considerable upside if LYC surprise us with some good results for production and sales.
