    Hi JRC,

    All shareholders have access to this information. Whether or not they take up the share offers is a personal opinion. As a WBC shareholder, I took up their share offer in January at $15.26, at $19.17 for a $3.91 per share gain I'm happy :)

    It's certainly a time when it is cheaper (and easier) for businesses to raise funds via equity rather than borrowing with tighter lending at the moment (even the banks did it!)

    In good times when its easy to borrow funds there are usually less share raisings compared to now it is easier to raise funds via equity.

    Most fund managers hold numerous shares and can make a choice of whether they believe it is a good purchase (ie, if the equity raising price per share is lower than the market price or if in general they think it's a good share to buy).

    Cheers,

    Dan

    I was offered $10,000 worth of CBA shares at $26 per share and took up the offer in March this year and have a $3-4K gain:p. Not bad for a few month's work.

    Is anyone here doing something similar to Stephen Mayne? Sounds intriguing, but I can't find much on the forums.
