Maybe I will post very occasionally as I am slowly getting back into the NZ market...it is just so slow and seemingly quiet compared to the UK market (currently hold GSK, ALNT, BON, IUKD plus a speculative embarrassment!) Added to that I have one or two small ETFs. When I get home (live overseas and come back to NZ to enjoy the frigid southern winter with family) maybe a post on the international board may not go amiss (although those buying with NZD may find the international markets not ideal long-term, some good short terms can be found if that is what you like - not my scene though as I am turnaround/value and long term).
