    Hmmmmmm I liked WES as the conglomerate.

    Look at page 7 of the presentation, that probably explains in simplest terms why they are doing it.

    - Consumes 61% of capital
    - However contributed to only 35% of EBIT

    To me its telling investors that supermarkets are going to be extremely competitive and as a result capital intensive. WES clearly thinks they can earn better $ on capital deployed elsewhere.

    I prefer the conglomerate, however nothing I/We can do. We are retail holders. No doubts the institutional investors will love it and brokers will re-rate WES higher. *touch wood* I expect WES to go up on open. I doubt they would have done this without support of major holders.

    Still reading through the rest of the presentation now.
