afr page 36 article discusses writedowns on unlisted FKP/Macquarie Group unlisted Retire Villages Group poor NZ
performance and 850mill capital raising from institutions and subsequent writedown of 500mill bfore going on to make other acquisitions.

Rumour is there are hints Dexus Property Group could emerge as a predator for VPG,SOME CORPORATE ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED,
as property groups see far more value in Valads $20bill funds platform than investors do in the listed markets.

see a pattern here and to think Macquarie have issued a
significant downgrade when their own funds venture is not doing so well,what coincidental comparisions might be drawn here, well i for one dont pretend to think such a massive
hit on the sp. is a coincidence.

what do you all think,this stinks,of manipulative opportunism,or is it just an unfortunate series of events,what is the sharemarket a holding area for ducks,in preparation for hunting season.

1.5bill shares is a lot,to think 40mill or so,less than 3%
can drive a stock down 50% in one day and a similar amount write off 30% the next day.

we live in an age of blatant cyberspace manipulation,soon there will not be any financial system,no regulations no oversight of markets,its the new barbarians rule not gov.,
free markets seem to be the place for anarchy,little wonder governments all over the world are concerned civil unrest could ensue,through this so called meltdown.

the more you learn about the possibilities in our financial markets the more you believe in a class driven greedy world society,the concept of investment has been overtaken by
opportunism without redress for those aggressors.
