Shareholders1 have had their chance to add their aggrevences at today's Myer annual general meeting in Melbourne. Chairman Paul McClintock has told the AGM that many investors2 have asked when they can expect Myer's fortunes to improve. Chief Executive Bernie Brooks3 has pledged to deliver a profit rise by the end of this financial year. The share price of the company though has halved4 in the last 12 months.

Fortescue Metals buffet5 the trend, rising up their heavy recent losses this week. The BHP Billiton turned negative late in the session. Rio Tito ended flat. Westpac was the worst of the big four banks, down 0.8%. Myer did edge a third of 1% higher.
