WBC SP is on a good run at present and out-performing the other three. I suspect this may be a buy on the rumour/sell on the fact story. Anyone know when they're reporting, I think it's before the end of the month sometime.

These shares have only bounced ~10% since the 10% buyback announcement, so no increase from the recent market uptrend. The lower the market price remains then the greater the interest from shareholders wanting to give their shares back is likely to be. I see from the JBH prospectus they are...

I believe a lot of the spin by the Government over the NBN and it's benefits to Australian society is ridiculously overstated. My wife and me love the Internet, we're also frustrated as hell with Telstra and their pair-gain telephone lines which excludes so many Aussies from having a decent...

Sorry to hear about the demise of your dog. Yeah I'll be going through the offer document with a fine tooth comb. We do have trading strategies in place. We have 10 grand in each of three stocks which we punted on in time for the so-called santa claus rally, early dec. JBH, Carsales.com and...

Re: JB Hi fi Yes I was working on $16.62 being the gross figure :banghead: But the new gross makes this even more attractive to us. Today's SP up another 30-40c atm. Very happy here. Just one little question, Is it your dog at the PC computing the figures for you, when are the pups...

Re: JB Hi fi The franking credit of $7.12, is this correct? Isn't the company corporate tax rate a flat 30%. When we've previously declared fully franked divis to the ATO we've only been refunded 30%, that's with us being under the threshold for tax. Cheers again - Phil

Re: JB Hi fi Thankyou VSntchr and particularly skc. I was correct in one way by well n truly barking up the wrong tree. My first posts on this forum today, I think i'm going to like it here and hopefully will get to contribute something of value to others. Cheers - Phil stop press: Spongle...

Re: JB Hi fi Haha, you're correct, so would that make the offer worse by 58c? I suppose I should also have stated in my original post, that I'm not actually seeking personal financial advice per se, but whether the offer in cases like ours make it worth pursuing.

JB Hi fi We're an early retired couple in our mid-fifties living off our modest savings and investments until our superannuations become tax free at sixty. for the past two tax years we haven't earned sufficient to pay any income tax and it's highly unlikely that we will for 2010/11 either. In...

I wouldn't say that Tony Windsor was a Laborite at heart nor for that matter is Oakeshott. What has happened with Windsor is he's had to a certain extent 'run the gauntlet' by sniping Nationals in and out of his seat as the Nats see him as an impostor, I think that that has created a certain...
