Good morning, it’s Paul here.
Apologies – I had a brainstorm, and totally forgot about the placeholder article that I set up last night, which has no content, but does have reader comments. Sorry about that. I was watching the Red Bull Soapbox Challenge on TV at the same time as writing this report, and totally forgot about the placeholder article put up last night. Anyway, I’ll rename the 2 reports part 1 amp; part 2.

However, there seems to be plenty of reader appetite for SCVRs, judging by yesterday’s reader count, and thumbs ups. So I have resisted the urge to stay in bed until lunchtime!
This is probably my last SCVR of the year. It’s been another fantastic year for most of us. As Chris Boxall of Fundamental Asset Management quipped – “If you didn’t make money in 2017, you probably shouldn’t be in this game!”. Chris’s roundup for the end of 2017 is on a video here, and is very interesting. I know him well, and he’s one of the top small caps fund…
