Not just income producing assets. Growth shares which don't pay a div, XRO for example. Some of us hold growth shares rather than income producing shares, for preference. Tax considerations may be a factor in that.

We can be pretty confident that we know what will happen should National win.
But are we so sure about what will happen should Labour lose.
Historically, Labour has been the political wing of the union movement. As time has passed, it has become a convenient coalition for a number of distinct interest groups. Without the prospect of electoral success, how long will it be before this coalition starts to fragment into a series of single-issue parties?
What are the political implications for New Zealand of a single "major" party (National) and a constellation of smallish interest-group-based parties ?
Sorry about that STMOD and fair enough too. I was just following belgarion's lead from earlier on today where he used the offending word first. I wrongly presumed that such language was acceptable on Sharetrader as it was used by a member of this site since 2002 and has posted over 4500 times. You may want to remove that word from his post too. I have quoting him using that word to help you doing your edit from his post which was # 4406 Thanks for that, cuzzie.
May I remind you what was said above!!!
I think you will find my name is Cuzzie, but you carry on trying to be funny, because I'm having a good old laugh at you westerly.
Well it looks like the Labour fanboys can now see the writing on the wall. Not only on the polls but right here on Share Trader and what do they do when their ship starts to sink? westerly resorts to name calling and belg complains about a word being used he uses constantly. At least three of us knows you are a hypocrite belg, you, me and STMOD - that's enough for me.
Anybody want to talk about how well National are going to do at the next election? EZ has gone quite, maybe he is working an extra job to pay craic the money he will owe him shortly.
It is fair to say that I'm a very happy camper right now and feel comfortable about NZ's future for at least the next three and a bit years - Thank God for National.

What do you think of John Keys responses to questions regarding income tax reductions. He was very non committal at best, indicating that the business tax rate was " about right" and that tax reductions were "enormously expensive". Do you think that will be very disappointing to many National supporters and will they become attracted to ACT
J.K told 600 delegates to a party's conference in Wellington, "The National Party respected New Zealanders and their hard-earned incomes".
Then added "If we can't use that money as well as you can, then it's simple - you should keep it." I like that, you S.P?
I LIKE THIS EVEN BETTER - Steven Joyce said, "If Laila Harre, Hone Harawira, Pam Corkery, Kim Dotcom, Russel Norman, Metiria Turei, David Cunliffe, Matt McCarten, and John Minto are the answer, can we please have another look at the question?" In fact I love that and will re-post it again for sure.
This is getting boring.
