Share Transfer I'm new to share investing. Is there a legal method of transferring shares from a person with a higher marginal tax rate (me) to a person with a lower marginal tax rate (my wife), obviously with the goal of minimising capital gains tax when it comes time to cash in? We both have...

Does anyone know of any bidder interest in the High Value Timber schemes? Gunns weren't interested. I suspect a wind-up

Well, according to the Korda Mentha letter I received today, the best return I can hope for on my 2003 Eucalyptus prepay is 15% on the buy in (this doesn't include years of high interest loans, maintenance and insurance). Still, probably better than what I'll salvage from Great Southern...

I had a bunch of trees with Great Southern 2006 Plantation that were on Tiwi Island leases. Upon expiry on September 30th 2009, these leases (and trees) have reverted to the Tiwi Island Land Council, leaving me with a fat, high interest loan against no investment. Other investors in the same...

Yes, I sent back the form from the Black Tree website prevailing upon the Receivers to allow Black Tree to meet the investors to discuss their proposal. They need 5% of eligible investors to return the form. Do it now comrades!

The Black Tree proposal at least gives me some value for my Tiwi Island leased 2006 Plantation. Gunns (and ?PPPL) will not provide any distribution to investors in 2006 Plantation on Tiwi land. I smell a large rat. My investment has been turned over to the Tiwi Island Land Council, and I still...

Thanks SDE. Was the info regarding pooled distributions in the product disclosure statement? Whole thing still a fiasco...

I had trees in GS 2006 Plantation which were on leased land in the Tiwi Islands. I understand the landholders exercised their right to take over the trees on 1st October when the lease could not be paid. Does this mean I've lost any entitlements to this investment/any proceeds? Can I still claim...

Anyone been allocated their VBA spp shares yet? Hasn't come up on CommSec for me yet. What was the degree of scaleback?

OK, so VBA closed at 38c today, with 20% gain for the day. Theories on why it went up so much? Full participation in SPP a no brainer at this price, yes? Am I missing something?

Needs to update his web-site! Also, I don't understand how it's possible (and why a person would) buy GTP now (post above re Eureka report 20th July-I couldn't actuallly find the article). Can anyone explain this? Could GTP shares actually still be worth something?

OK...now I'm geeting worried. I have a couple of previous years tranches of trees with GTP (and TIM), and don't know if or how much I'm going to get back on my investment. The real kicker, however, is that despite assurances from my FP to the contrary, a loan I signed for in April 2009 for 2009...

So what companies do people think are still to offer an SPP?

Can anyone see how shares in GTP may be (at some future point) worth something? I was dang-fool enough to actually buy GTP shares (can't even blame the cattle rort). Also an investor...
