G'day Londoner

Definitely no BHP here - not my "cup of tea".

I'm as "speculative" as you are.

But there are a lot of comments on the MEU threads that indicate knowledge of what lies beneath. No one is privy to that.

And yes, we can speculate about it, back it up with our hard earned and HOPE that fortunes reward the brave but until certain events transpire, people should keep a level head about this. I've seen many similar situations go pear shaped and the same people that were shouting from the roof tops are then the ones cursing the day that company was ever listed.

And the threads looked very similar to MEU. Like someone said on the Tasman thread - people are searching/praying for that next SIR/CDU etc..., they'll believe any positive thread that's going around because it validates their "gamble". Anything other than positive is a threat. But what I'm saying is that people should treat critical analysis, particularly when it comes from seemingly knowledgable sources, with a little more candour. That poster "tubbers" - I'm impartial and I thought what he contributed, while sobering, looked fairly important in terms of how Friday's announcement should be viewed.

I don't hold and I probably shouldn't have got involved by posting but for those of you who are following with blind optimism, be careful.
