Forest is amazing. Fortescue is such an amazing company.

Very little risk involved imo.

Alan Bonds inclusion was interesting... althought it was all based (from what i hear) on estimation of assets etc that he has re-couped since coming out of jail... helps to have family and friends with $$$ to get you back up on top.

Andrew Forest is only young right?
