I expect International Borders to be open by Xmas this year as NZ and Worlds vaccination rate will be around 80%-90% or better
Message is get vaccinated or stay home as this will be last lockdown, everyone needs to decide quickly.

Announcement of Ampol's conditional takeover offer made on 23rd August so 4 weeks due diligence will end on Monday, 20th Sept.
Guess the Ampol team will be burning the midnight oil over the weekend with a view to making a final offer on Monday or next week then.
Yes, this is the time to get out now before 5pm this afternoon if you think the deal will fall over. On the other hand, this is the time to get in before 5pm if you think the deal will be made:confused:. I am going to hold for now, but if a lot of sellers at close then might pick up a few more on that closing weakness.
Our Covid lockdowns has given $3.78 a lot of credence, and may end up as the final figure. Plus a final dividend.

Looks like deal is ready to move to next stage - negotiations on payment of dividends by ZEL in the event of regulatory delays.
Good on them for looking after shareholders. MET shareholders got stabbed in the back by their own directors with not only the takeover price but the complete absence of dividends during the prolonged takeover process. If one company takes over another it should get the company itself, not the accrued earnings in between when the deal is originally proposed and when it finally settles which can be many, many months later. Any director that thinks otherwise should be deeply ashamed of themselves including the entire former MET board.
I want my interim dividend later this year, tell AMPOL to get stuffed in they think they can get.
looks like the smart money bailed judging from the share price movement.
if ampol bails next week i see a under $3 share price again
