Pepsi is sold by Japan's Asahi in Oz, and Japanese corporate culture tends to be risk averse and conservative. They also tend to prioritise…

Got a medium Quarter Pounder meal for $9. Fast food price hikes across the board are real. Should've bought KFC Australia shares. It's gone…

That Xiaomi also comes with a helmet and lock for that price, so if you don't have both then while the Segway is clearly better, it will…

Operating profit margin is about 6% at Woolies, significantly higher than supermarket chains overseas like Walmart (2.78%) or Tesco (~1%).…

That sounds like a fairly extreme hypothetical. My finance knowledge may be limited to what I read in the financial media, but every time a…

If the problem was that the owner had too much debt, and the underlying business itself was sound, shouldn't the receivers be able to find…

As long as they didn't try to float and sell it to the Australian public, and kept the losses within the private equity firm and their…

Yes, it was marked as a "clearance" sale. They shouldn't be ordering new stock to fill orders.

Just saying, it's not quite 5% off if they turn around and raise prices at the same time. Although, it might pay to look at Aldi or…

The fact that they're still hiking prices of goods makes me cynical about a 5% discount. A dozen Woolworths barn eggs for example just…

How does this compare with Stake? I noticed that Stake is $3 per trade, CHESS sponsored ie. shares are held in your name.

Qantas market cap is 0.4% of the total market cap of all ASX stocks, so assuming a super fund holds an equal weight in QAN relative to the…

Catch is that if you stay and use the service they milk you in a number of ways. Earning interest on your cash, lending your stock to short…

Damn, looks like I missed it by minutes then.

Deal shows as $43.75 for me. Do you have to wait for a specific time to get the $35 price?

I think in general, yes, but sometimes there are periods when you take your eyes off short term profitability for one reason or another.…

CKF (franchisee of KFC Australia) earlier this week stressed importance of 'margin recovery' in its financial results - ie. they are…

Same here, V30+ user. Not looking forward to losing the reliable fingerprint scanner and fast wireless charging. But haven't seen a similar…

Whatever it is, it's stinkin' up the place. Nobody goes on bargain hunting sites to listen to fringe political agendas.

What is with all these posts lately, from people complaining about how their lives are crap for one reason or another and blaming others -…

Thought about buying Harvey Norman shares too but two things scared me: 1) the company takes something like $1.3b in fees from franchisees…

I paid over $250 in fees on a $1000 NFT transaction recently. Granted, it's not just gas fees, but also includes marketplace fees, exchange…

Probably up on a 2018 investment if you include dividends, since HVN stock does pay pretty sizable dividends.

It's insane how the stimmi cheques kept going to businesses that were booming. Large car dealership group headquartered in my city…

Similar story across many grocery staples, e.g. bag of frozen broccoli @ woolies: last year = $2.50, last month = $3.20, now = $3.80. A…

Sandstone back in stock.

With 600+ KFC stores nationwide, 1000 items per day means each store gives away 1.5 discounted items per day. This won't be a bargain if…

The local ASX listed company (Amatil) that makes Coke products was bought out by Europeans in 2020, and they have been jacking up prices…

Anyone notice the crumbed Chicken Schnitzel 1.2kg pack everyday pricing ($10.50) is the same price as the 600g (also $10.50)? I think I'm…
