True enough. But then again, what say Goldman Sachs vs GFC? As for UBS and Deutsche, much the same.

Credit Suisse was another broker who the regulators are still pursuing for GFC related penalties.

UBS is a well known shorter of stocks in other companies whilst Deutsche has made a number of local and global mistakes.

CLSA points to Chinese /Hong Kong buying occurring. That's the more significant point.

They're the main buyers according to Accaeric's broker performance chart.

Buyers (net):
* Goldman Sachs - +936K shares bought
* UBS - +234,000 shares bought
* CLSA - +904,000 shares bought
* Deutsche - +34,000 shares bought.
* Credit Suisse - +70,000 shares bought.

Sellers (net):
* Instinet - 532,000 shares sold
* Macquarie - 222,000 shares sold
* Australian Investment Exchange - 146,000 shares sold
* Ord Minnett - 203,000 shares sold
* Morgans Financial - 224,000 shares sold
* ETrade - 93,000 shares sold
* plus Merrill Lynch, CMC Markets and Third Party Platform, all in the net 30 - 40,000+ plus selling range.

So maybe the brokers do know when to buy (Goldman Sachs, UBS, Deutshce, Credit Suisse, etc). They also seemingly know when to sell (Macquarie, Merrill Lynch, Ord Minnett, Morgans, etc).

As for ComSec, hardly nil net buying.
