this one's a keeper, page-51

Hi Superk28,

As a BJT holder (as per your disclosure) and as you say you're busy trading shares; I am sure that you read widely about the companies you invest in, including company announcements, broker research, media articles, and economic data. Otherwise you may not be as well informed as other investors, possibly leading to poor investment decisions.

BJT have communicated well their position and strategy over the past year. Like other REITs BJT has uncomfortably high debt levels. As they have also pointed out they have an 'out-of-the-money' hedge that the counterparty could call-in in August.

They currently have 12.5c per share in cash sitting in their bank account.

However, to answer your question about why they earnt 19.5c for FY09 but only paid investors 9c, I would recommend you read more carefully BJTs announcements and wider regarding the sector and economic conditions.

This will both avoid HC posts that appear ignorant, and hopefully help you better understand what you are investing in, thus possibly improving your investment returns.

Cheers
John
