Investors charge into Billabong stock

18Oct06

TWO foreign financial groups have upped their stake in Gold Coast surf giant Billabong.

US-based FMR Corporation and Bermuda-based FIL, acting for more than 80 investment companies worldwide, have snapped up more than two million shares in the Burleigh Heads company in on-market trades since mid-September.

The shares were bought at prices between about US$10.80 ($14.33) and US$11.20 ($14.86).

Billabong shares closed yesterday at $15.45, down 22c.

Both FMR and FIL, which are advisers to the investment companies, are controlled by Edward C. Johnson and the trades take the investors' stake in Billabong to 6.04 per cent, an increase of 1 per cent.

However, Mr Johnson does not have the power to vote, or direct the voting of, the stake.

My teeth suck so good

School yard humor is awesome !! I would have to say it to his butt cos thats where his head is - my teeth suck but evryone else in the world knows you yanks are so fat that even if we were standing face to face your mama would need binoculars to see my mouth, i guess thats why you are called Big Jeans Fantasy cos you like to to slap a ho and ride the wave on in >> Smiling

Please revise your title, it gives me shivers...

The reason us "yanks are so fat" is because our food is edible, unlike your Blood Pudding, Bangers and Mash, etc. We also keep our beer cold-what a novel concept-to wash down our yummy foods.

Just in good humor, of course. I like London (and the rest of the U.K.) a lot. As a matter of fact, I would like to try The Fat Duck in Berkshire.

Focus more on your style than your trick bag.

I love you guys too !

Bangers and mash is gourmet ! and we dont drink week as piss cold bottled beer, just bints of bitter, ale and draught - old school booze! . . . Fat Duck really aint all that, check out The Wolsey in picadilly if you want the real deal . . i love the US, but man your food does suck

Hey British Teeth, before you talk shit, ask yourself if you'd say this to someone's face.

Focus more on your style than your trick bag.
