Sharemarket - Anyone here involved???

I wont comment specifically on CSR (as my knowledge is limited) etc but in general, share prices of stocks with dividend (cum dividend) generally have the premium built into them and when they go ex dividend they tend to fall by the dividend - this does not take into account the market as a whole and international/national/specific influences. If you havnt seen a spike then the market has sort of factored this in and you may well expect a dip once they go ex-dividend. It also may depend on what they intend to do with the remaining funds ie pay off debt or invest further which may drive the market value.

Please note this is very general and broad but that is what i get from what information you have given me.

Just for safety sake speak to ur broker/financial advisor either way and check with them as well.

LOL when they hit a $1 you can have mine :lol: and I can negative gear them! They are historically a dependable company and always return a fully franked dividend which is good! The thing I hate about it all is they will be retaining the whole CSR branding on their sugar, but the sugar will be owned by the Chinese and "Sucrogen" which is misleading and they forsee job losses in the sugar side once the takeover is complete!

Plus there is a lot of internal stuff going on between CSR and Boral that I can't elaborate on, but the vibe isn't too good lol

Thanks for the reply!
Ahh ok I guess I see the general overview of what you are saying! Basically the ass will probably fall out of them, which I somewhat expected, once they lose so much of their capital and earnings potential and the shares will be even more diluted? They are paying off debt and investing but also have been forced to commit to make sure they can still pay off their asbestos liability funds especially in the US, this is what has delayed the decision through the federal court.

I think I might wait out for the dividend and then sell them off! the sale will be at a loss, but because I bought them at a higher amount over the years (but got share for share, ie 1000 shares at market value and 1000 shares free but elected to have the discount assessed in the year they were obtained) then it won't really be technically a loss but on paper it will be, if you get the gist lol

I am my own broker/financial advisor lol but the share aspect confuses me a little!

For your sake, i hope you are wrong, you can however insure/hedge your shares in a downfall for a premium, this is where a real broker adds value (ie options and warrants).
 
but with shares don't you first have to make a gain before you sell them? otherwise you cannot negative gear them?

i.e say you bought 100 shares for $10 and they drop to $1 so you loose $900 but you never sold for profit originally wouldn't you just loose?
