Hey Strawman crew, A few of us Perthlings are getting together on the 2nd of June at the Dutch Trading Co. Let us know if you’re interested so we can gauge numbers.

Sorry I missed the get together, but had a long trip back from Thailand and wouldn't have been good company.

Glad those there got something good out of it.

Shout out to the Perth Strawman Chapter who put on a very solid meetup - @Arena42, @Seymourbutts, @acarbone1 and @Metis.

Some good insights thrown around on VEE, KPG, AD8, CGS, SOL, LBL, and many others.

Plus a few mining tiddlers and tales of the one that got away.

Also some good banter on Buffett, different valuation approaches and investor psychology.

Real estate

I should probably have expected this but not a lot of real estate talk on the West Coast…

It was noted that a recent investor podcast said there are 130,000 real estate agents in Australia but only 90,000 in the defence force.

We decided that if there’s a war, it will likely be over real estate so the agents should be deputised and mobilised so they can be deployed as shock troops.

Expect @Strawman would approve of this allocation of human capital?

Just pulled in on my Pat Malone. I’m the lone Strawman sitting to the left with the blue cap on.

First person here will get my run down of a speccy mining explorer.
