There are wiser heads than me investing in Customers, and we all know who they are. Just look at the Top 20. The only question for me now is this: Have all these outfits who are seriously "in the know" got it wrong, or is it just short term players getting over-nervous?

It's very easy for a company with a billion plus shares on issue to get hammered in an uncertain market on what is comparatively light volume. It looks big, with a million or two going through each day, but on the scale of things, it's tiny. Yet perception is reality. Funny, a while ago we were discussing the merits of a consolidation. The consensus seemed to be it would be madness to do it now. In the current climate I think Cutsomers would be holding up a lot better if it only had 100 million shares on issue, not 1.2 billion. Thoughts?

The alternative is that there IS something seriously wrong and those in the know, know.
