What's going on with A2M?, page-77

The "super" fund member returns will of course be lower than other investors because the super funds adopt a policy of stock lending out the stock they own, this will subdue the returns for such stocks, a "super" fund should have a lower equity return than anyone else due to this stock lending practice.

Better hope the super funds stay away from A2M as the A2M SP might correct due to the "super" fund stock lending practice.

Come March 7 on the ASX, ASX moves settlement from T+3 to T+2, that is one ray of light. T+2 will make it harder for shorters to cover and the amount of shorting on the ASX should, in theory, reduce dramatically.

The ASX might go from chronic underperformance from growth stocks like A2M to income stocks like CBA to outperformance. IMHO it will only be due to a reduction of the amount of shorting of growth and income stocks due to the reduced settlement on March 7 for A2M and others and nothing fundamental about A2M and/ or Australia at all.
