So (and regardless of the accuracy or otherwise of analyst forecasts), the point being that the statement of no intent to increase the holding again does not mean a lot. Another future good deal would also be a good deal. It wouldn't surprise me at all if they took the holding up towards 30%, given the right opportunity.
