Dick - funny you should bring this up.

 

I had been having the same thoughts - something hasn't been right for a wile..

 

It started soon after that Gattung person started running Telecom. It got worse when Helen Clark became Prime Minister.

 

One answer could be woman's logic - but my daughters say it's only men who understand this fundamental mathematical problem.

 

It became more noticeable when Australia introduced GST and had the Olympics - what companies started losing never seemed to be regained in full.

 

Then George Bush become President - the counting in Florida can now be explained....

 

As you say the bigger the fall the more you lose.

 

It's bad enough that CSG should fall by 93% from $2.03 to 14 cents but it really hurts that when it goes up by 93% to 27 cents in the next few weeks I'll still be out of pocket by $1.76 a share.

 

Maybe now that fella in Bosnia has been arrested normality will come back into the world.

 

I hope so, because I can't handle these wild gyrations in the stock market any more.
