The above noted South African resource shares are in their ADR and regular flavors.
My MS Money morgue contains these residual shares that qualify me to receiving annual reports from AIG, INTC, MRK, MSFT, PFE, QCOM, WMT, and in HK equity morgue - Phoenix Satellite TV.
I do not have debt, and NAV YTD appreciation is now @ 4.90%, well on track to a more than ambitious 8% for 2002. This tally to date is conservative, based on always valuing the bonds and real estate at lower of cost and market.
Reference last tally:
