Re: ouch Terry Smith wrote that if a private equity backed company proposes to float you should run for the hills and never, ever buy the shares in the float. Of course, Terry Smith later persuaded investors to back the float of private equity backed Collins Stewart, which later cratered.

Overdone This company is extremely sound and has consistently done well year after year. The sell off IMHO is vastly overdone and represents a tremendous buying opportunity.
