Well, Graeme, I find it hard to disagree with your logic(!).

We must get together real soon.  You see I have some BIL shares 
that I bought at $4.80 in the 1980s.   I haven't sold them since so 
any idea that they are worth less than that is not real.  

Have I got a deal for you!  I will sell them to you for $4.68, which 
means that I am paying the equivalent of 2.5% brokerage for you- for 
free!  And because you paid $4.68 per share to me, your shares will 
be worth *far more* than any other BIL shares on the market!

Sorry to the rest of you sharechat subscribers.  This is a special 
deal for *Graeme only*, although I may be able to rustle up a few 
more shares for Brian if he wants to come in late on my special 
offer ;-).
