thanks for bringing this thread back up again - a great read. appears most of the property blunders were from not buying in the first place, or selling to soon. exactly the same as my blunders - selling to unlock the equity when i didn't need to because i didn't understand refinancing!
as for telstra - i bought first float as employee for $2.50, sold for $9.20, bought back again for $4(something) and sold again for $7(something). so i'm happy.
as for bhp!! - sold for around $10 when they did the split a few years back to fund an ip purchase ... the shares have since tripled and the ip hasn't moved!
roundabouts and swings ...
