I read with interest your lengthy disertions on LAC and LACO.

Your use of the third person "we" in your reports connotes that you have some tie-up with the company.  Can you enlighten chatters some more?

Also, why the use of a disclaimer (sometimes)?  company requirement? are you from a brokerage house? or, are you in PR or communications?  I don't think that any chatter is going to take a FTA, CGA or negligence action against you for recommending a share. 

Regards

Charles

> 1.Price history of LACO.

>A placement of shares and options was made in Dec 1999. A cash issue to shareholders was made in Jan 2000.

>A new set of options was also issued. All options were to expire on 30/12/04.

>

>Prior to the listing of the second set, I completed a range of valuations. Based on the little information available on LANG, but respecting their excellent management, I decided that @ $ 2/option, the risk was very low.

>And I was amazed to see the second listing of options selling @ $1.20 while the first set was still selling @ $ 1.40! (The head share LAC was selling @ $6.85).

>Finally, both sets were combined and the code LACO was adopted.

>

>The market was then preoccupied with computer stocks and only a few took notice of high quality infrastructure stocks.

>However, the LACO price finally reached $ 2.35 while LAC had risen to $ 9.90: refer to my entry of Nov 4.

>

>At that time investors were getting out of the the e-stocks and I was sure that they wanted to hear about

>an infrastructure stock with 'teeth' and entrepreneurial ability, called LANG; their website:< www.lang.com.au >

>

>I learned later that on Nov 24 a major Australian broker did put a buy on LAC ($ 10.70) and again a few days later, when the stock was $11.36.

>

>Yesterday, LAC rose to $11.95 and LACO rose to $ 4.10 at one stage, but fell back to $4.00.

>

>LACO's price has risen by 70% since Nov. 4!!

>

> Many thanks to Management and readers of this sharechat forum!!!

>

>2.Prospects.

>Institutional and superannuation funds will be interested in this stock as it promises good returns at less risk.

>As the price rises, supply tends to 'dry up'. My entry of Nov. 6 mentions that there are not many shares and options on issue.

>

>Please refer to my entry of Nov. 27, item 3, where possible prices for shares and options are predicted!

>

>Obviously, LACO is a medium-and long term BUY!

>

>The long term holder will,I think, benefit the most!!
