While the total number of bond holders was in decrease now 70 people (68 last year and 63 in 2008) hold 100,001+ bonds each, accounting for 39% of total bonds.

It seems that small bond holders tend to give up and large holders stick with, believing or hoping Blue Star would recover in the future.

For those who recently bought bonds at 20 cents there is little to worry about. Getting 20 cents back would not be difficult if Blue Star goes to receivership because writing off its intangible assets would still see assets = liability.

yet another print company bites the dust Goanna Print is the latest print company to fail

At current price (15 cents) the bonds, however, could be worth to buy. If lost it is just 15 cents. If you have the good luck you migh get back 50 cents.

The casino has better odds, if black or red comes up twice in a row, your 15 cents would be 60 cents.

Good thinking - Extrapolating your 'analysis' the lottery is better than the casino though: PowerBall only has to come up once, and your return is hundreds of thousands times.

Private Equity CHAMP (Blue Star Group's ultimate parent) sold "Study Group" in July 2010 for $660 m. It was bought in September 2006 at $176 m.

Giving the stabilisation of economy and printing business in Australia and NZ, I would think the chance of getting money back from BLU020 bonds is definitely greater than winning a lottery. Indeed, the bonds are traded at $0.28 today, compaed with $0.18 a few weeks ago!
