bad news for shareholders

    So CBA have made a big placement at $38 and describes this as "good for shareholders".

    In what way, good, Roger ?

    Insiders and cronies get to buy large numbers of shares almost 20% below the market price. They can then sell a similar number of existing shareholdings around $42, locking in an instant 10% profit on the trade. While other shareholders take a 10% loss. Thanks Roger !

    Other insiders and cronies who are not already shareholders get to buy the new shares at $38 and instantly sell them at $42. An instant 10% return on capital. Not bad for a one-day investments. And other shareholders take a 10% loss. Thanks Roger !
