3. Which year is it better for you to include this dividend in ?
4. Another interesting question is why are we tending to see an increased incidence of bank payments sometimes being delayed by up to two business days ?
5. Is there a trend developing in N.Z. where banks are hanging onto people's money longer than in previous years to boost their profit ? or is this just my cynical imagination at work ?
Sorry lot's more questions than answers, if all that's too much I suggest you stick to question 1 only :)
