Watch out for cheap takeover offers once ASM demerger undertaken, page-72

I have to disagree with your post. Anyone can post a question or opinion here, it's an open forum. And as Santa seems likely to be unfairly discriminated as a foreign shareholder, I think he has every right to raise the questions he has.

And whilst it may seem nostalgic to say ASM is better off Australian owned, a quick google search will reveal approximately 30 percent of listed shares on the ASX are owned by, you guessed it, non Australian entities. If a non resident sees value in a listed Australian company, why should they not be able to invest in it? Their money, their risk.

Just a side note to claus, just google how to buy shares on asx as a foreigner, and you will find plenty of relevant info. Might be a bit of an embuggerance, but if you want exposure to ASM Im sure you will battle through it.
