Black Monday

[alokdhir]

actually you could argue maybe its because most there business off-shore or they have dominant positions ?

I think that this is very valid - perhaps not the right thread but this is why KFL is not the dog that many commentators think it is - 49% of KFL is FPH/MFT/IFT and these 3 overall probably have about 80% of their business offshore (and in the case of IFT much of the NZ business is effectively offshore funded e.g. datacentres). On top of that fully-imputed div and 33% tax rate (well the portion that is not capital gain) as well as a healthy discount to nta. KFL share price up 1c YTD nta up 3c and a dividend of 2% nta paid too.[/QUOTE]

Could not agree more and I cud not have said it better ...KFL for me is the safest and best buy on NZX ...ATM / EBO / VGL are also their holdings not nz economy oriented companies

[alokdhir]

By the way US stocks and bonds are behaving just before April CPI ...most likely its on target or not too much variation from consensus ...will know in few hours !!

Bang on forecasts on every count ...S&P 500 up 50 and 10Y down 10bips ...wow its easy ...no wonder Bull is creaming it and enjoying whitkers everyday

That's not saying KFL is outstanding, just the best of an underperforming market ?

NZ has been undergoing a major demographic change, that both major political parties support by default. Smaller rates of migration (for size of population) helped cause Brexit in the UK. They both avoid major systemic monetary and fiscal reform.

Higher for longer theme is now well ingrained in the market psyche ...NZ is totally different case ...with Govt doing or overdoing its bit on controlling inflation ...we will surely see rate cuts sooner then latter ...PGW @ 1.53 is showing farmers in deep trouble and nz is an agricultural country ....I will stick my neck out and say OCT/NOV RBNZ pivots fully

as you like to tell us stocks are forward looking then some nz stocks must be predicting a dire economy by end of yr so maybe you be right on rate cuts ?

I'm going to try my best and be positive today about the NZX.

I know what you are thinking. It's impossible.

At some stage the bargain hunters will be back. Not all businesses are mismanaged. We have some great companys with fantastic balance sheets that have been let down by the likes of FBU.

Im a Highlanders supporter. So I don't know what giving up even means.

Dude there are not many bargains -it's massively overvalued....

Reddell reported this morning one of the most stunning statistics I have ever seen

NZ real GDP per capita is up a total of 3% since 2017.

Nominal PC up 29%.

Almost hard to believe.

0.42% PA real per capita GDP growth over 7 years.

Basically explains everything.
