BCD, I'm not sure when
VB floated, but if you bought BHP shares in April 2003 at low $8's then you would have almost trebled your money.
Fortunately I did, but as always never nearly enough of them. Imagine if a punter had the balls to put his entire super into just one share, BHP, and 2 years and 7 months later took out almost three times the initial investment, less 15% tax of course.
Woodside has been almost as good.
I hope they make a go of it. All the best OzJet.
