Yeah, fair call Allan - I wasn't clued up

FRE was not the risk it seemed, have still got
them. If it all turned to
custard they have a healthy div and that is a

for a safety net in all investments
made.
Being a lower priced share when it goes up 3 cents as it did today it
really
boosts the value to take advantage of this you need a lot of
shares.
