Of course you are right. Well you could make a little bit of money here
then.
When SPE rights were trading I remember getting an e-mail from my broker
that they will waive the minimum brokerage fee for me, then sold my ordinary
shares and then bought the rights + application money which saved me a few
hundred dollars.
It depends which broker you use to expect proper explanation of rights
trading. I recommend calling your broker and asking him/her in detail about
the Cabletalk rights trading. If your prices are right and you are already a
Cabletalk shareholder you could save some money if your broker agrees to a
lower fee.
Regards,
Christian

But you have to pay brokerage on the purchase at 60c.
So why don't you buy the rights at 8.9c plus the 50c
which results in a total price of 58.9c insteaqd of
the 60c.
