T: (03) 8624 3000 F: (03) 8624 3088. The legions of shareholders who bought T elstra from the government have a lot to worry about these days, but much of what you are seeing in the media is wide of the mark. I don’t buy the repeated assumption that the NBN will be bad for Telstra. In my view, Telstra will either  be paid a lot of money to be the NBN’s anchor tenant or it will milk i ts copper network for another decade. And that’s just the start. Tim T readgold looks at the changing iron ore market and nds there is still plenty of money to be made. James Frost explains how GFC capital raisings will impact EPS for years to come. Robert Gottliebsen asks readers to follow their investment instincts and not the herd. Rudi Filapek-Vandyck makes the case for the ASX to push through 5000 in April. Doug T urek unveils his ination-ghting portfolio. Monique Wak elin puts for - ward her predictions for house price growth, and there’s much, much more. Y our Eureka Report weekly review is ready to print. I hope you enjoy it. Best wishes, Alan Kohler Publisher Alan Kohler Managing editor James Kirby Assistant editor James Frost Sub editor James Harrison Superannuation editor Bruce Brammall Chie reporter Alex Liddington-Cox Telstra and the NBN Don’t discount Telstra By Alan Kohler There’s a lot of confusion and misinformation surrounding Telstra and the NBN. It’s time to set the record straight.
