hi Oz

I emailed AMU this morning to query the change of format and register my preference for the old format.
The answer was that the report had been simplified in response to feedback/requests from brokers. They are trying different formats to see what works best. I sugested that perhaps a compromise could be found in a 1 page synopsis for the brokers followed by a well by well summary for the punters like us who prefer more detail. To be honest i would have thought brokers would have preferred more rather than less info.

I get the feeling that they are trying to give the market what it wants, but i suppose they cant please all the people all the time.

Buyback seems to be on hold, i guess they prefer to conserve the funds atm and perhaps test the market to see what sort of demand is really out there without the artificial support of BB. This is a good thing imo and demonstrates a willingness to be flexible in difficult and rapidly changing circumstances.

Buyers building. Good to see them filling the void left by buyback.
