primaus72, here is my logic anyway.....

Say I buy $12,000 in BBI today at 8c, or BEPPA at 12c....

I get 100000 BBI or 100,000 BEPPA.

If say in 2 years time we get back to MAY 2008 prices for both, then BBI is at $1.20 and BEPPA is at 80c.

Lets say dividends are suspended for 1 year on BBI... so 12c dividend for BBI and 24c dividend on BEPPA.

Doing the maths....

BBI investment

150,000 x $1.20 = $180,000 + $12,000 Dividend = $192,000

BEPPA investment

100,000 x $0.80 = $80,000 + $24,000 Dividend = $104,000

BBI is better return, BEPPA is lower risk.
