AU Shares - portfolio update: 18 August 2007

Here's the latest monthly update of what stocks are in my Australian Stock Portfolio. I haven't bought or sold any stocks since last month (apart from some DRP reinvestment), so I've included and extra column to show last months price for each stock. This gives an idea of what impact the recent market "troubles" have had on my portfolio, and which stocks were affected most. In comparison my US Stock "Little Book" portfolio has dropped even more, but that was offset somewhat by the recent 10% plunge in the value of the Aussie dollar compared to the USD.

Current holdings:

Leveraged Equities Account (loan balance $158,715.42, value $286,383.32).
Last month value was $314,560.04, so the value of this portfolio
dropped -8.96% for the month, which means my equity dropped by a
whopping -18.08% since this time last month!
