    Acquisition and private equity activity on the rise in 2006
    Australia can expect to see even more acquisitions, divestments and mergers in 2006 than in 2005, according to Ernst & Young's Transaction Trends 2006 survey, released this month.
    A healthy start to 2006

    Proposed Record Dates and how they effect ASX derivative markets
    ASX recently introduced changes to Listing Rule 3.20, requiring listed companies to immediately announce a proposed record date. The rationale behind this and how this can impact ASX derivative markets is explained.
