Have a good summit about mining in Perth and we'll see you in a couple of weeks.

Thanks, everyone, for listening to today's episode.

Send in your question to themoneycafe at intelligentinvestor.com.au and we'll try to answer it, but we're getting so many it's getting hard to, but, you know, we'd love to see them.
