No, we are. These are institutional investors.

I want to say to Deputy Boyd Barrett that it is very easy to look back several years later and say we knew the market had bottomed out at that stage. Any members who were on the finance committee at that time, as some of those present were, know that we did not know the market was not going to continue falling. The Deputy said it could only have gone one way. The market could have continued falling and the Deputy should remember that.
