Ann: Share Purchase Plan, page-56

Really don't understand the self-proclaimed experienced traders bashing others for "whining" about a bad deal. Doubt good traders would want to tie up capital for a month to get shares at a price about the same as now - and likely what it will be in Jan. Can only imagine the portfolio performance of someone criticising those who question the sense. 2% is not a great deal at all and, let's face it, the SP has tanked. Long term holders will benefit eventually, but in reality short and mid term holders are better off buying shares direct or looking elsewhere and not tying up capital in a drawn out SPP. Besides, SPP's always work the same: you tie up $30k and only get allotted $1-2k, wasting a month of returns you could have gotten elsewhere on ~$28k.
