Groves loses $45m in 2 hours

Just read this article on the news.com website.

Lost $45M in just two hours!

Surely, this will this have an affect on Brisbane's or the Dome's expenditure?

Sorry D16, Wayville got in first!

This is from Crikey:

Alas, Australia's most subsidised company might need a spot more assistance from Canberra. Its shares have crashed more than 60% this morning, despite an "urgent" ASX announcement released at 11.30am claiming that everything is fine and dandy.

It seems something was not quite right in the claimed $37 million half year "profit" released after the market had closed yesterday. It's called debt  too much of it -- and the familiar folly of paying too much for assets. ABC Learning now joins the likes of Centro, MFS, Allco and Macquarie Fortress on the critical list. Who'll be next?

Having written out a cheque for $403 million last June to buy 12% of ABC Learning at $7.30, Lee Kwan Yew and his children who run Singapore Inc might need to get out the cane for young Eddie with the stock hitting a low of $1.15 this morning. Ouch.

i have done some calculations, 16 mar 07 peaked at 7.38 a share and eddie owns approx 20.2 mill shares = approx 149 million dollars in value.

Toda at 2.17 ADT share price is 1.88 X 20.2 = 37.97 million in value.

Therefore since march 07 is share value lost to today is 112 mill.

This surely will have an affect on the brisbane bullets and the nbl.

Its safe to say if the bullets win they wont be going to vegas again :)
