I have lost quite a considerable amount of money owning Origin shares.Should I take up the 4 for 7 entitlement offer?

Why did UXC go down after a take over offer, and still trading well below the offer?

I would appreciate your thoughts on Santos, Origin Woodside and the LPG sector generally as at the moment my losses on these shares are quite high.

I have been most interested in CAJ and have bought in to them at several levels. They are in a reasonable sector and management appears OK. They are expanding well and have good balance sheets. Debt also seems manageable. Why would there price drop from $1.08 to 60c?

I am hoping you can assist me to determine the cost base of my current holdings in SCG 4,328 and Westfield Corporation 2,000.

I purchased 2,000 Westfield Group ord/unit stapled securities back on 14 May 2009 at $9.65 for a total cost, including brokerage, of $19,332.95 and have held on through all the mergers and demergers etc.

Origin Energy has more than halved its price from a year ago. Now it is asking shareholders to take up the entitlement offer at a 34.4% discount, which will dilute existing share values. What views do you have on current management strategies?
