I received the huge acceptance and voting package for WFD and I’m still confused. I will be accepting the offer but I understand that accepting the offer will result in a cash payment (which will depend on the $US exchange rate at the time of takeover. Also an allocation of shares in a small tech start up.

Question- It is the shares in Unibail-Rodamco and where they can be traded that is still confusing me. I think it means that one can elect to choose the option of shares that can only be traded on the European exchanges but the default option can be traded on the ASX just like any dual listed company such BHP etc. Is that correct?

I think Unibail-Rodamco is a good retail company going through a slump so I would be prepared to go long on them. Also the small tech startup may eventually be worth something. But if it means messy overseas exchanges with an unpredictable exchange rate I will selling on market prior to the closing date and forget about the opportunity lost of not selling WFD on market soon after the announcement.

Question- what is your advice on WFD?

For several decades I had always regarded AMP as a plodder with many life assurance advisors who returned minimal financial benefits particularly with life assurance bonuses which were pitiful. I always considered one day it would blossom and following a number of glowing reports I took the plunge a few months ago. The result a capital loss of 22% loss. Your thoughts, take my loss smile and invest elsewhere or holdout and await a long claw back if ever.

Good Evening

CGF has fallen from $14 to under $ 11.00,

Would they be good buying at this price ?

I am thinking of adding to my portfolio of 506 shares. What do you think ?

Q: WAM Global Ltd (ASX: WGB)

Hi Paul,

What are your thoughts on investing in WAM Global IPO price at $2.20? The minimum investment is $2,200.00 per shareholder.

Hi Paul, I have read your article on the possible change in the refunding of excess franking credit IF BS is elected. In particular your comment about EMTFs being trusts and all income is passed directly to unit holders.
Does this mean that a unit holder, or any trust recipient, will be able to claim a cash refund if the franking credits are in excess of the tax payable ?
