I always thought of Stokes as the brains behind his investments…and in that sense has made some really good calls. They say follow the money. In the past I have done well following his investment decisions. When I had brought into SWM many years ago I was weighing up rather buying Seven Group Holdings; had I done so I would have done well. That said I still believe that SWM will do well….just waiting for dividends to be paid and I believe the brakes will be off.

I don’t believe or hope that he will take this private.
