Agree.
Paying out close to $1/4 mill for shares that are not options or "gimmes" says that he is putting his money where he thinks he can get a good return. A very good sign indeed. If he believes there is value there, and he must have knowledge of what OZL has in store with regards to growth options, then it is an excellent leading indicator.

A very good friend who made a lot of money on the sharemarket had a very simple strategy, he bought when a director did and sold when a director did, and he made a lot of money!!!
