Hi Thabu,

I don't want to denegrate your question in anyway but in hindsight it is
always alot easier so spot 'smart money'.  Being in a position be offered
such opportunites is a matter of knowing people who have good ideas and
the business accumen and determination to make them happen.

Alot of company's obtain finance from venture capitalist's, wealthy
individuals or even their own family's when starting company's.  To pick a
good idea out of the many business plans that are presented is an art form
and no one gets it right everytime.  Buying shares in a listed venture
capital company can be one way to profit from someone with more practical
experience that will be offered more opportunities than the average
investor.

Ask the MD of ITC in the Q&A today how they pick companys and where the
companys come from.

I'm not sure how you would do technical analysis on an idea or very small
company while it is developing but always helps if you can share the
'vision' that the company founder.  How many people would have thought
Bill Gates and Microsoft would have done as well as it has?

Regards,
Sarah
