Ultralights and QF insider

The QF share price is a little misleading due to cash dividends being stripped out of the share value and the increasing number of shares being issued due to the DRP plan.

The QF market capitalisation is $6,338 million (Delta is currently US$200 million and about to enter Chapter 11)

Regardless QF has been a poor investment and always will be due to the nature and risk (increasing) attached to the business.

The QF total investment return has been as follows:

1 year +0.7% (VB -3.6%)
3 years -3.1%
5 years +3.7%
10 years +11.4%

These figures do not take any staff benefits (if any) on discounted shares

For Jimmy Bow Tie fans he saw the writing on the wall in the airline industry with all the problems and jumped ship to Woolworths (WOW).

The WOW total investment return has been as follows:

1 year +33.9%
3 years +15.3%
5 years +23.3%
10 years +22.8%

For VB fans I see your shares heading south for $1.25 unless there is any corporate take over activity.
