Ann: S&P DJ Indices Announces March Quarterly Rebalance, page-3

Well, at least it explains the two million shares dumped over the last couple of days - I guess that's the last of the index trackers getting out. At least we don't have to deal with the continuous flood of shares as the funds rebalance as the price changes.

It will also stop the idiotic comparison with ASX300 by the remuneration committee when discussing directors fees, something that drove me mad when GR was in Perth a couple of years ago rebuking shareholders at the AGM for a lack of support for the increase to directors fees by a huge percentage.

If it all works out the way Dirk seems to be hinting, we will probably end up back in the index over the next couple of rebalances - hopefully straight into the ASX200! At that point, they can talk all they like about rewards, as poor long suffering shareholders will finally have one.
