You are right that those stats look nice - particularly if they maintain the dividend yield. That would make up for short-term capital movements. However, other questions to ask are:

* What are profit (and potentially dividend) expectations over the coming couple of years?
* How do these, and profit growth, stats compare to the likes of ANZ / WBC for banks, or QBE for insurance?

In short, with the whole market being relatively sold off are the other companies that on the face of it are slightly more expense, but from management and growth outlook perspectives better value?
