''The point is'' ---You were making a point...but imo there was a flaw in your logic about the point you were making --(Your stuff about Balance was beside the point-- If you want to make that your main point,,say so----the issue was about Jackies motivation to buy the shares--(or take the gift)...if you want to use it as a veil to have a go at another poster ,so be it.----whats more important in terms of PEB..your opinion of Balances investing motivations...or Jackie Walker getting a bunch of cheap PEB options?
