Over 30 on the beach is far too hot for oysters and chips
Need to find a bench under the trees in a cooling sea breeze
I know such a place ...on my way

Changed tack .....too hot for walk to beach so made myself a couple ham and avocado sandwiches and will go up the gully to see how the rata are doing.
Cooler among the trees
And to think I might never have bought any if it hadn't been for my PGC holding ( that I lost my shirt on when I abandoned them a few months ago). Many many thanks Percy and all the other contributors who persuaded me to stay the course.
My biggest NZ holding by some distance....and my third biggest gain after MELCA and SML.
Stoked I topped up a couple of weeks back. My biggest holding next to AirNZ. Be interesting to see where SP stands end of this year!
Also be interesting to see which one outperforms the other. You're aiming for the same winning quinella as me :)
W69 - I topped you lunch effort mate with gourmet filled rolls from my local café, eaten under a shady tree by the beach as I watched my AIR planes landing at Auckland airport in the distance.
Mine was more than gourmet cafe rolls
Freshly baked wholegrain bread, thick slices of ham, avocado slices, slice of havarti (would have preferred gruyere but none in the fridge), the mandatory lettuce leaf from the garden, topped with winners yummy home made mayo with a dash of mustard thrown in. Beat that
Lay under the rata. Can see your aeroplanes taking off from there as well. Very pleasant
Percy, the rata are thriving even though been very dry this summer. Percy rata doing better than Snoppy rata but both going great guns ....a bit like HNZ v PGW
I think you might have just piped me there mate. I suggest we appoint you to the board of HNZ so you can help make the sandwiches at the next ASM :)
Lunch sounds good to me at either your place or Roger's.
Thought the Snoopy Rata may be doing better, since Snoopy is now used to being under water more than me.Think ARI on ASX. lol.Good news though.And thank you for planting them.
Was not that long ago every one thought we were mad thinking HNZ would get to $1.25.
And what do we think of the future?
"More runs on the board" is now being rewarded, and reflected in the Heartland share price.
We are "well positioned."!!! lol.
Yes indeed we are mate. I polished up my abacus when I got back from the beach and I'm seeing circa low to mid $60m range for 2016 about 13-14 cps.
When the market wakes up to the rate this company is growing at and realises net interest margin is nearly double that of the Aussie banks we might see a more appropriate multiple applied...suggest 13-14...so $1.70 - $2.00 not out of the question by early 2016 :) Very happy to stay on this train and enjoy the ride, toot toot !!
A great and unexpected result for me. Here is some more. Sounds like HER is flat. Other areas strong.

Austerity should prevail at the ASM
Got a few more avocado to get through, there's some baby book choy in the garden. Might mix with some soba noodles and sesame seeds and a chilli dressing to have a decent salad in the lunchbox tomorrow. Was a recipe in the paper the other day.
See what you local cafe can come up with to beat that.
Can we all just keep this quiet, and the analysts asleep, for just a wee while longer, please, not all of us are fully loaded yet. ;) Close, but not fully. Thanks all for bringing this to our attention, it makes all the cock-a-hoop back-slapping self-congratulations so much more bearable. LOL.

Loving it 'uncle',
:t_up:
though could we clear something up, my youth is a distant memory. I aint no young'un ... well, maybe that's just perspective, if you're already retired, I'm younger, or in a rest home, I'm young.
:(
As you're a long lost uncle, I'll flick you an invite to the family reunion where we all wear sheep heads, full body woolen cloaks, make up new sheep jokes and baaaaa endlessly about our sharepicking prowess? You in?
:eek2:
(that's a joke by the way. Promise, we don't actually wear sheep heads.)
Glad you took it is the way it was meant...!!
As you would expect a great uncle to be, I am a pensioner,but with daughters and grand children I have put off my retirement from selling books to school libraries,for another 35 years,or death which ever comes first.!!
Trust I remembered your first name Basil,as my memory is not what it used to be.
May just past up on the family reunion,but thanks anyway.
