I will write more about this later, but if anyone still wants to apply you have a little under one hour to get to 380 Bourke St, Melbourne with your application and cheque. Make sure you have it in a letter with a stamp, as theat is the GPO Box location and you’ll be posting it over the counter.

The Fusion Portfolio is making the following trade at today’s close of US markets, Monday 28th October.
Selling the portfolio’s entire position in SPY, 2000 shares.

I don’t have time for a write-up now; however, this is a heads up that STP has once again fallen to bargain basement prices. The Fusion Investing Portfolio plans to buy 2,000 shares on Friday 3 October.
You can check my previous articles on Suntech here.
The good: PEG of 0.53, forward P/E of 11.66, dominant low cost solar provider, good margins and return on equity, excellent R&D.
The bad: High debt, earnings not translating to cash flow due to investments in growth.
