Snoopy, you seem to make a habit of losing your way.  Your example doesn't
relate at all to  the original topic. Of course your shares have lost VALUE
but go and read all the postings again. You'll get it eventually. Good luck
with your BIL. Cheers Graeme

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 ;-).
