      Thank you for that Paul,

      I am delighted to hear my book is having a positive impact amongst advisors. Thank you ever so much for those encouraging comments. The lucky investors who employ advisors that consider value investing, should be well rewarded – provided of course they are very patient. I am giving a talk next week in regional NSW for an advisory group and am thrilled to be sharing my understanding of value investing with them and their clients – the more the merrier.

    Roger,

    For thirty years I worked in big, capital intensive businesses (in the international Oil and Gas Sector). I never ceased to be amazed at the folly of many of the capital allocation decisions of major players in the sector.

    Eventually, I came to the conclusion that this folly was the result of a syndrome that affected many in leadership positions in the industry. This I characterized as the Large Testicles, weighing on Small Brains, with Deep Pockets (LTSBDP) syndrome.

    I see all the symptoms that characterize LTSBDP in the strategy and business plan of QR National, as enunciated in the prospectus and the accompanying advertising for the float.

    I caution: beware of Large Testicles, weighing on Small Brains, with Deep Pockets. It always ends as a ball busting experience.

    Regards
    Lloyd
