Hoop
I own a few of these but I have mixed feelings. On the one hand they are growing steadily through aquisition which is quite exciting as potentially they could be a serious player in the finance sector but on the other the underlying profitabilty seems to be sliding; the profit increases in recent times have been generated either by tax adjustments or by the change of accounting treatment in the insurance subsidiary.    
 
I will go along for the ride but with nowhere near 20% of my portfolio committed
 
Cheers

Now that BCA has gone from our shores what do people think of DPC. It has changed its structure, so exposure to any downturn fairly minimal, pays a dividend,Ceo largest shareholder.Return on total assets have been stable for last three years & earnings per share have improved for the last 5 years.
Directors control 50% of company + Bill Birch on board ( the only listed company directership he has agreed to take on -not personally that I give this a lot of weight )
Green & McCahill one of the largest & smartest private investors also have a large shareholding + board representation.
Comment would be appreciated.
