He's a good natural leader. I've chatted with him after a number of annual meetings and watched him talk to others. He has an easy way about him that puts people at ease and he communicates very well. I'm sure he'll relate with Jacinda well and this gives me a bit more confidence that Labour are taking this matter seriously.
Most retailers,motels,rental car companies,etc either run at a loss, or break even, from Mother's Day to Father's Day.
Paul Krugman once said what people learn from running a business won’t help them formulate economic policy. A country is not a big corporation. The habits of mind that make a great business leader are not, in general, those that make a great economic analyst; an executive who has made $1 billion is rarely the right person to turn to for advice about a $6 trillion economy. (Krugman)
Whether Jacinda’s new advisory group is just a mutual admiration society only time will tell.
But as long as the world believe that Jacinda’s doing something and the input of Luxon and his mates are going to help to guide economic policy for the good she has achieved her aim — essentially diverting attention away from the problem for while. Or maybe it was all just window dressing to get some more headlines.
Good post mate. One suspects that with about 100 working groups working on a vast range of policy any assurance Jacinda gave about her understanding of the need for certainty for business is at best window dressing lol.
Perception is a powerful thing though. She did look good on the telly last night getting up close with Chris. Maybe some of his good common sense might rub off on her.
Maybe just the perception that they are listening to business is all that's needed to boost confidence slightly and keep the problem swept under the carpet for now ?
Anyway..I blame the spent fumes from aircraft engines that sometimes fly over my house...I bought a few more AIR this morning at $3.30. Probably regret it but when you're a dividend hound at heart its hard to change one's nature and the gross yield looking forward makes a solid investment case. Maybe they have a bit of brand pricing power to recover the higher jet fuel prices this year ? Who knows, time will tell.
