Brian,

I'm not sure if "sort of right" is the best way to put it for number 4. I am pretty sure that MRC paid for itself entirely within a couple years of purchase. It has had some mediocre performance since then, but I don't think that was a bad investment at all.

Petrolifera is definitely an extreme disappointment. "If only" Connacher had divested their share when the shares were above $20.
