future dividends, page-5

Another month of sitting idly... I notice they've bought into BHP and BSL, but on the whole have cut their long positions to a whimper.

JUSTBOB, the problem is that investors expect the group to take risk, in a professional sense. Anyone is smart enough to just let money sit in a term deposit, but no one expects the pros to turnaround and say to you, 'this is a tough market, give me your money and I'll put it in a term deposit for you and charge you a management fee along the way'. They should be playing miss market till she can't take any more.
