So is Phaedrus's chart above telling us that $1.000 bucks 'invested' in RBD 5 years ago is now only worth $600
Suppose would have got those divies (say $250 worth at most .... based on 10 cents for each 500 shares bought at $2 in 2002)
So the $1,000 is worth say $850 now (maybe breakeven at $1,000 if the divies were reinvested)
But the $1000 in the NZX50 would be $2,000 now by the looks of the chart
So the opportunity cost (or the cost of waiting for a takeover that has yet to eventuate) has been a $1,000 for this beggar who had $1,000 to spend 5 years ago. At least he has not wiped out like putting into an another leading brand like feltex .... but would have better off if he had put it into the bank
Ru=ough numbers for a laugh on a Sunday morning
THAT is the extreme worse case what about the people who bought @ 92 cents and had div`s as well they say YIPPIE.. [8D]
