Oliver - I've only been interested in the markets about
12 months or so (still a relative newbie) so I have no recollection personally
of the float being oversubscribed or not. This is probably an error on
my part. My broker may have been talking about buyers shortly after the
initial float increasing their holdings on a vague dream that they would have
saved the money by the time 2nd instalment was due or on some vague hope that
the receipt price would have increased. I will phone my broker first
thing on Monday and see if I can find out more specifically what he
meant. I bought at 62c on his advice by the way - "a higher
return than the bank and you can get your money out whenever you like" were
his exact words as I recall so maybe your comment about changing brokers is
sensible. cheers michael
