coupla thoughts
seeing news that commsec appointed Interactive Brokers LLC (IBLLC) as their latest sub-custodian, makes me wonder why not just use an ib account (or similar) and benefit from income from share lending during the "wait"... but i get the complications and easiness of commsec......
they offer fractional, so truly beneficial, and with so many freaking out for many years about the general "safety/risk" of using beneficial accounts here (like IG etc where u do not get a hin or u use a shared corporate hin..... ahhhh, good old ig - so many memories ).... in an ownership sense...... then the drs transfer system is kinda mentally similar to holding shares under a hin here.... they will be in ur name.... called booked. they do not all do this.... no idea for new commsec.
just 2 fleeting thoughts.
if it halps, i see the probabilty of upside as good..... but the occasional bank would not kill anyone methinks
stages of life for me.
see ya.
