Bargain-hunters rewarded

Article Abstract:

The share prices of Washington H. Soul Pattinson and Company Ltd. are now on the rise again because of its Indonesian coal operations and venture into telecommunications. In November 1996, shares hit $63 but fell to a low of $23 by October 1998. Stock has been as high as $38 since then. NBN, Soul's TV station, has Australia's highest audience share at 70%. NBN is valued at $150 million. International coal markets have improved, and the Adaro coal mine in Indonesia is now selling as much coal as it can produce: 13-14 million tons a year.
