Gallery Gold Ltd (GGN) is an emerging gold exploration and
producing company primarily focused on the Mupane Project in
Botswana. With production of 100,000oz of gold expected to
start in October 2004 from the Mupane Project, GGN is in a
strong position to leverage this profitable mine. Strong cash
flow is expected which will help the exploration of a number of
different areas and metals including nickel, platinum, copper
and diamonds. The recent merger with Spinifex has increased
GGN’s exploration portfolio immensely and the Buckreef
Rwamagaza Project in Tanzania is scheduled for a bankable
feasibility study after already confirming resource estimates of
1.1m ounces of gold. GGN has strong institutional support and
with major shareholder Lion Selection Group at the helm, GGN
deserves a market re-rating as it goes from explorer to producer
Technology One Ltd (TNE) is focused on the design,
development, implementation and support of software
applications for the corporate and government sectors. TNE has
two main divisions, Software Engineering and Service Delivery
and judging by the amount of R&D spend (20% of revenues),
TNE is committed to delivering the leading solutions to its
customers using Client Server, Internet and eBusiness
Technologies. TNE has as an impressive list of customers
including, Australian Broadcast Authority, Melbourne Water
Corporation and the Department of the Senate. The financials
of TNE are solid, recently producing a 16% increase on net
profit before tax of $5.5m for the half year ending December
2003. With a pick up in the IT sector expected in 2005, TNE
has strong fundamentals, including a dividend yield of 5% to
in the second half of this year. A ‘speculative buy’
ensure its continued growth in the next 24 months.

Portfolio Management
How to manage recommendations from Stock on the Move like the Professionals
The key to successful trading is cutting losses quickly and holding
onto winning trades. Very often investors sell out of winning
trades, only to see the stock trade a lot higher. However, it is more
disturbing to see an unrealised profit of 60% turn into a losing
trade. It is very difficult to pick market tops and bottoms. We use
“Profit Stops” to help investors manage their investments. Profit
Stops are like Safety Nets that protect unrealised profits. The
chart on the right demonstrates our use of Profit Stops. The Initial
Stop Loss is raised as the stock trades higher to lock in profits.
Notice that as the stock trades higher, the Profit Stop is revised to
a higher level. Finally, as the stock trades below the Revised
Profit Stop, we sell the stock to realise a profit of 16%.

EXAMPLE
This section is intended for INTERMEDIATE-TOADVANCED INVESTORS ONLY. Instalment warrants are
derivative products and are extremely risky. The listed products
have been sorted in order of gearing. Investors should be aware
that the products listed at a greater discount incur more interest
charges and there is no guarantee that investors will profit from
investing in these products. Investors should also seek advice
from an Accredited Derivatives Adviser and a Tax Specialist.
Two investors are considering a $10,000 investment in National
Australia Bank. Investor-A decides to invest in the shares and
Investor-B decides to invest in the instalment warrants to take
advantage of the enhanced dividend yield and franking credits.
Assuming National Australia Bank is trading at $30.00 and
pays an annual dividend of $1.35 consider the scenarios below.

At January 20X1, say NAB is trading at $30.00:
Blue Chip stocks have always been preferred investments due
to their ability to produce solid earnings even in the worst
economic conditions. Investors can use Instalment Warrants to
gain exposure to Blue Chip stocks without the high capital
outlay that is normally required. Instalment warrants are like
buying shares on lay-by but the investor receives the full
dividend and franking credits. Investors pay approximately 50%
of the current underlying share price, which means the
remaining portion is borrowed from the issuer. A pre-paid
interest component is built into the initial price and depreciates
over the life of the instalment warrant.
•
Investor-A buys 333 NAB shares at $30.00
Dividend Yield = ($1.35 ÷ $30.00) x 100% = 4.56%
•
Investor-B buys 637 NAB instalments at $15.68
Dividend Yield = ($1.35 ÷ $15.68) x 100% = 8.61%
At January 20X2, say NAB is trading at $33.00:
•
Investor-A sells 333 NAB shares at $33.00
Profit = Capital Gain + Dividend Income
= ($33.00 − $30.00) x 333 + $1.35 x 333
= $1,448.55 or 14.49%
•
Investor-B sells 637 NAB instalments at $17.00
Profit = Capital Gain + Dividend Income
= ($17.00 − $15.68) x 637 + $1.35 x 637
= $1,700.79 or 17.00%
NOTE. Pre-Paid interest is initially built in to the price of the
instalment warrant and deducted in the form of time decay over
its trading life. At maturity, all interest has been repaid (i.e. no
time value) and the price of the instalment warrant is worth
($33.00 − $16.00) = $17.00.

Instalment Trading Strategy
Trading the Dividend of Blue Chip Stocks
Blue Chip stocks generally pay dividends to their shareholders.
For this reason, Blue Chip stocks are very popular amongst
investors when the stock is close to paying a dividend. To be
eligible for the dividend, investors must own the stock before
the ex-dividend date. This requirement often creates a lot of
interest in the shares as investors buy the stock in order to
receive the dividend.
!! WARNING !!
This section is intended as a CASE STUDY ONLY. The
example discussed here is historical and is not an indication of
future returns. All prices have been backdated and are
theoretical results. There is no guarantee that such returns can
actually be achieved. Instalment warrants are derivative
products and are extremely risky. Investors should also seek
advice from an Accredited Derivatives Adviser and a Tax
Specialist.
The Trading Strategy - ANZIPF
ANZIPF is an Instalment Warrant that can be used to take
advantage of leverage, enhanced dividend yields and possibly
franking credits (see your Tax Adviser). The second payment of
ANZIPF is $10.00 and expires on 26 June 2003. The instalment
trading strategy is as follows.
•
Buy ANZIPF leading up to the ex-dividend date
•
Receive entitlement to the dividend of 39 cents
•
Hold ANZIPF for a maximum of 2 weeks after the
ex-dividend date in anticipation that ANZ will recover
its dividend (i.e. Appreciate to share price levels prior
to the ex-dividend date)
•
Sell ANZIPF on dividend recovery (or if ANZ does
not recover its dividend within 2 weeks)
ANZ
SELL
P
ANZ Banking Group Limited
On 17 May 2002, ANZ was expected to trade ex-dividend and
pay a fully franked dividend of 39 cents. This meant that
investors who wished to receive the 39 cent dividend had to
own the shares before 17 May 2002. ANZ was trading at
$19.13 on 8 May 2002 and creating an opportunity to trade the
stock leading up to the ex-dividend date.

•
On 31 May 2002, ANZ trading $19.50

Harvey Norman Limited (HVN)
HVN last traded $2.81 (at the time of writing). The next exdividend date is expected on 14 April 2004. We believe this
creates a great opportunity to trade instalments to take
advantage of enhanced dividend yields and potentially franking
credits (see your Tax Adviser). Instalment investors may
consider trading the period leading up to the ex-dividend date
and holding for no more than 2 weeks after the ex-dividend date
in anticipation that the stock may recover its dividend.
NOTE. All figures below are quoted in cents. For simplicity,
time decay is assumed constant. Investors should be aware that
cheaper (more geared) products have greater Weekly Interest
Decay. We prefer instalments that are 50% of the share price,
since the interest on the outstanding loan is significantly less.

Writing Covered Calls
How to Make Regular Income on Your Existing Blue Chip Shares
Level of Difficulty:
Expected Knowledge:
Intermediate-to-Advanced
ASX Options Booklet
(Understanding Options Trading)
Investors who own Blue Chip Stocks can earn a regular income
in the Options Market. This is simply done by Writing Covered
Calls over your existing stock. A Covered Call is a Call Option
sold/written when the investor already owns the stock. One
Option Contract normally equates to 1,000 shares. The risk
involved in writing covered calls is the underlying share price
trading significantly higher than the strike sold. In this instance,
the investor forgoes the opportunity to sell the stock at a higher
level. This risk allows Blue Chip Stock holders to earn regular
income on Call Premium sold.
!! WARNING !!
This section is intended for INTERMEDIATE-TO-ADVANCED
INVESTORS ONLY. Options are derivative products and are
extremely risky. The Call Options below have been chosen based on
our own selection criteria and it is assumed that the investor is
holding a minimum of 1,000 shares for every Call Option contract
sold/written.
Writing Covered Calls is an income generating strategy. Investors
selling Calls at recommended strikes must be willing to sell the stock
at these levels. Investors should also seek advice from an Accredited
Derivatives Adviser.
QBE Insurance Group Limited (QBE)
QBE last traded $11.30 (at the time of writing) and has traded
from a low of $6.05 to a high of $11.50. We believe the stock is
looking very attractive for existing shareholders to lock in
profits. Investors holding a minimum of 1,000 shares may
consider selling the QBE $11.50 July 2004 Call Options at a
premium of $0.41 (at the time of writing) for income. If the
stock closes above $11.50 at expiry, you will effectively be
selling at $11.91 (i.e. $11.50 + $0.41).
NOTE. When an investor sells a Call Option over a stock the
investor does not already own, this is known as Writing Naked
Calls. Investors should note that Writing Naked Calls exposes
the seller/writer to unlimited losses and we strongly advise
AGAINST such practices.
