the ferret is dead set right about quarterly reports, they are a farce.
it's good to have mandatory reporting but companies - mostly canines that report after market on the last day obviously have nothing to say.
the staggered reporting groups is a great idea.
likewise, the 'market sensitive' announcements which are made that simply are not that. Also company's calling for trading halts without sufficient cause - like IMU's last classic concerning OGTR approval, where the information was in the public domain before the halt was even called.
the ASX should tighten its regulations - and pigs might fly.
