  1. Hi Megan,

    I never heard of this ASX listed company before. It would have been nice for you doing research on BGL 5 years ago when its share price was 5c huh. What a great run to $0.90.

    BGL is a great example of a company growing by acquisition. I would be curious on how it finance its acquisition, whether by debt or new equity? I'll check back later for more info from you.

    Good work.
