Decided to short this on the open, as out of all the macquarie and babsuck listed shares, this one bent over and took it the most. Will see how it goes...
Time for bottom picking??
On the chart CMF now above zero and heading nicely upward.
Director purchased quarter of a million dollars worth of shares last week.
9.7% dividend.
Not holding but have been watching closely for a long time looking for any reversal of the long downtrend.
At least you live to see another day... I did the same re BBW. They all seemed to be getting smashed at some level today. Fundamentals aside (regardless of any stock with Babcock in its name), the market is saying otherwise, so better listen to it.
Hi All, any thoughts out there on this one? I bought in at .39 when the dividend yield was about 30%, now its down to .20c and a yield of around 54% So down almost 50%. Ive looked and looked but cant find too much to explain the weakness, apart from maybe all the uncertainty in the japanese market. Good occupancy rate and steady cash flow, property portfolio is worth $800,000,000 more than total debt. Am I missing something here?
Thanks
This one has been chucked in the pile of REITs that are going broke, even though they have no financing risk for 2 years, great occupancy levels, 4x interest cover, an NTA north of $1.50. This will be one of the genuine opportunities that comes out of this mess in the next 2 years and you will make plenty if you are patient.
Look for internalisation of management by buying out BNB rights any day now.
Hi Truevalue, Thanks for your input with this one. I see it touched .185 today, I think maybe time to buy more to bring my cost average down. Surely it cant go down too much from here, but in this market anything can happen I guess!
Got back in at .205 a couple of weeks back. Today at 31, up 8% on a generally down day. Cost average now .283 so going ok. But no real news to explain the around 50% rise since last post. Dividend if they pay is still around 40%, pretty good in anyones books! Just hopeing that the weakness in price is due to the fact that it has 'Babcock & Brown' in its name!
