I was sent a pile of cash from the first installment but had to pay about 50% tax on it because of an admin blunder. Not sure what happened with the rest. Was easy money in retrospect.Did they end up paying out that Divi from the cash allocation?
It would behove members to check out the NTA of Straits and what their current MC is. I believe it is getting into significant under true valuation territory like it was during the GFC.
I will do my best to find the time, but I think their investments and cash backing are way above their current MC which is a no brainer short term arb trade.
There was a comment in the Fin in regard to this this weekend. Can't post it because they make you pay for their on line stuff.
Would be great if someone could add some substantiation to this with some facts and figures.
Cheers.
You could have read the post above yours."Straits Resources (SRL) was included on the basis it trades at a 40 per cent discount to net tangible asset backing."
would be interested to know what the actual NTA is
Article in 'The Australian' the other day.
Straits Resources (SRL) $1.30
PSST . . . want a profitable copper mine for free, with some change left over? That's the conundrum of Straits, given its $330m market cap falls well short of the value of its cash and investments, let alone its own assets.
As of March 31 Straits held cash of $220m and an investment in Indonesian coal producer Straits Asia Resources, worth $340m. Straits also has $43m invested in other listed companies, which adds up to a theoretical worth of $603m. On the other side of the ledger, Straits has an $80m convertible note and a $50m trade finance facility.
Huge movement all of a sudden on SRL. Up 10c today, after rises for the previous 3 days as well. Maybe there's news we don't know, or maybe it's just herd mentality?
Can anyone else confirm the current stats on SRL.
255m shares on issue at $1.28 = $326m mc.
Indirect holding in SARL is worth about $321m.
So, just on that level, their mines are worth just $5m.
But wait, there's more.
They have $263m in cash and invstments.
So, not including their mines, they are trading $260m under NTA, or about $1.00 ish per share.
Is this no brainer territory?
Yeh, this is no Brockman, or even a Giralia.Think back to your Brockman day's Kennas:
I'd just be watching the markets at present...long term stock market is a weighting machine or whatever the saying is!
The thing with BRM and SRL is that BRM were on there way to doing something and had a stockpile of cash. SRL just remind me on an investment fund but as a Miner/Energy Co. Kind of like that dud MLM
CORPORATE• Hillgrove antimony gold mine‐discussions continue
with interested parties.
• At the end of June 2010, the Straits Group cash and
investments (excluding SARL) totalled A$251 million.
• At the end of June 2010, SRL’s indirect holding in Straits
Asia had a market value of A$348 million.
Sold today at 178.5, it goes ex tomorrow with no franking credit.
May consider buying it back when it drops below 173, it will probably go well below that as stops are triggered that haven't been adjusted for the dividend.
Should be worth seeing just as an exercise
