It is a good time to be buying if you have the patience. Some of my holdings have been battered over the last nine months, but I feel that they have just been washed lower by the rest of the market. There has not been any changes in the value of their properties - just like SLI. So I have been buying the odd share over the last two weeks - the only thing I have to remind myself that they are all long term holds and that I can't really get impatient.

Merry Christmas all.
