You placed an AVOID on James Hardie in Sept 06. The price has now fallen more than a dollar. Short term it would be expected to fall further. How much does its price have to fall before I should consider buying James Hardie?

That's a personal question for you to answer, Louise. But, if you're asking where we'd recommend buying, I don't want to speak for Brad Newcombe (who covers the stock for us). Rest assured, though, he'll update everyone if and when his view changes....
