Gotta pump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers in this racket!
I think you mean to say you were SKYving.

Interesting read, though not surprising.
With YouTube's popularity, our Sky Sport NEXT initiative seems like a good way to test the waters and see if Sky content can benefit from that platform's popularity.
On Demand streaming is the key (as we all know) - so the more Sky can move in this direction the better.
This could potentially be done by adding 'upgrades' to NEON where you can add additional content (Living Channel, food Network, UKTV etc...).
It will also be partially solved when SkyGO is released as a standalone. People can still do linear, but it has a very good On Demand section.
Martin has taken a lot of heat with the moves he has made...and it certainly has put a lot of pressure on the SP...but I really do think he is on the right track with the investments he is making, and the path he has set for the business.
I cancelled all of my paid subscription services except YouTube Premium at $16/month and Spotify premium $15/month
I record some of the free to air to watch later and watch a little live TV and TVNZ on demand but that's about it. The rest of my television watching is YouTube funny UK shows, finance shows, documentaries, and things related to my hobbies. No ads and I can stream on my smart TV. Love love love YouTube
YouTube are now offering channels the opportunity to charge subscriptions for exclusive content, plus the usual pay per view to rent videos and exclusive series.
I wonder if any smaller TV companies or production houses will choose to stream through YouTube and charge a sub. It takes away a lot of hassle.
I know some of the financial advice channels offer membership subs. Maybe some of the television stations and independent movie makers will do the same?
Just a thought... SKT has a lot of competition these days. I am not a big sports watcher but maybe that will also be offered on YouTube. Imagine if YouTube won the rights to the next soccer world cup or olympics (assuming that the world returns to normal and screens these things). Could be a game changer...
Well I didn't know about this until recently, but YouTube has offered YouTube TV in the USA for a couple of years.
https://tv.youtube.com/welcome/
Yep! And they also have exclusive content they commission.
Check out YouTube Originals.
This is an example
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...cf6V7p2RNAneKc
I watched and enjoyed it.
I know. I’ve been meaning to transfer all my playlists to YouTube music but I have several hundred songs in some playlists and I have shared playlists with friends that don’t have YouTube premium so it went in the too hard basket
Edited: I discovered there are apps that do this already! I will be converting this month
Further highlights the need for a good aggregator in the new streaming world.
Will SKT be the aggregator for NZ?
Or will a popular platform like YOUTUBE end up taking over the world as the aggregator? Would cost a lot of money to gain all those rights in all those jurisdictions and the price sure as hell wont be $16/month. But it is one possibility.
My money is (literally) on Sky successfully completing the transformation and maintaining their status as the main aggregator in NZ.
Apple TV also has the concept of ‘channels’.
I have an AppleTV 4K. Great platform, so user friendly - and the ‘channel’ content aggregates with the Apple TV+ content plus their PPV movies.
Will Apple end up being the aggregator of choice? They only have two channels on there for NZ at the moment.
But they could have an HBO channel, and a Showtime channel, and a Hulu channel, and a NETFLIX channel...
Realistic that they might take over the world too and become the aggregator of choice?
Possible, but unlikely.
Maybe YouTube will take over SKT. Boom!!!
There was a fairly interesting article on AFR yesterday about the success of STAN/Nine securing content and growing STAN's subscriber base to over 2m in Australia. Worth a read if you have a subscription, or if you're quick enough to read the article before the paywall loads.
One of the closing sentences was "The next few years will prove critical in the streaming shake-out. Money will continue to become available as customers get out of cable TV, and they are already proving they're willing to take up multiple SVOD services."
STAN seems pretty confident they can execute and deliver on their current strategy.
Looks like this thread got a mention on Sharesies. Haere Mai to all the Sharesies Share Club members. Hope your investment in Sky goes Kapai.
They are having great fun with their $100 and $200 or $1000 investments & punts on the market, and hopefully learning great lessons & building up valuable experiences which will serve them well in the future.
I certainly wished there was a platform like Sharesies when I started investing!
Yep my daughter has a $1000 invested through sharesies. She has some good buys and has some good investment philosophies. Will hold her in good stead when I drop of the perch.
Over 7M shares traded already - very high volume compared to recent trading.
Someone buying up in anticipation of positive results next week?
The blood has not down the street, so the dog cannot run so far. The large negative earnings would be the last falling knife to make the deep cut.
Mah man Peter going all in before the 10th...

It is just one person/ thing who represents most of those shares traded.
In a private trade they bought 6,993,849 shares for 13.85 @ opening. Otherwise only 177,507 shares have traded the rest of the morning representing about about $30,000.
Just stoking the fire, is IFT starting to build a takeover launching pad??? ;)
I don't know about that, at 7m shares depth in 1 go, but the price did not go above 13.9, doesn't make sense unless it's an off market trade or someone was undercutting the sale at the same time as someone is buying up? Surely at 7m buy in such a short time, it'll knock that resistance right out of the park?
US OPEN is on ESPN2 from today.
Christ, between the Tour de France and the US OPEN I am spoilt for choice.
I have my MacBook Air playing Sky Sport NOW all day while I work on my work laptop :D
Could someone want the price to be kept around these levels?
I believe the large 7m trade was UBS clients closing out positions and rebalancing accounts with each other before results next week. Shorts have also recently been dropping. Stock price is likely to bounce. Only question is, will people sell into the rally.
Institutions can. eg, short $5m at 14c , then buy back at 12c at the same amount of money. Then they have more % in shares.
jeez -- over 8 mill traded today
Wall of sellers at 0.14 - who is with me to try and break through so she sails along up to 0.15?? - I am definitely over weight in this one but could do another 100,000 to help out.....
Roll on 10.00AM on the 10th :)
Bounced off the 30MA. Bullish signs ahead if we can get over 0.140.
I just tested 0.14 with 86000 share, only one email coming back. So I calculated that there is approximate $230k at 0.14. Not much money to roll over 0.14, but if they place more shares on that price... better wait till 10th. sharesies army will burn it out.
One Sharesies Share club member with their $100 trades don't mean much to us. But 1,000,000 sharesies users are a formidable army that can move markets, topple management and cause wild speculation in the markets. It's a powerful army and one should be taken seriously as a collective union. Thank you Sharesies for adding a new dimension to the usually plain predictable NZ market.
Yeah I don’t really get the Sharsies-bashing.
That platform is not for me, but if it is helping a new generation of investors become interested in investing, and allows people with limited means to enter the market then all good by me.
If Sharsies is creating big inefficiencies in the market (which I highly doubt) because most of the users are gamblers/speculators then even better for me - I can expect more bargains.
I find sharesies a garbage platform. I used Swissquote when living in Switzerland and that provided in depth on market information for free to all users. Better trading ability with great algorithms. Actually still subscribed to it
I scooped up hopefully the last shares I’ll pick on this under 14 - huge day volume today for this share highest in last 3ms.
What ‘resistance’ there is, isn’t worth mentioning for this share. It’s not big money given how low the share price has become.
Expecting guidance met and some big unveils from Sky next week.
This share if there is a take up on the back of some good results and future outlook could be a rocket ship, given current prices.
Good luck to all holders
Not bashing the platform, but I facepalm when a small minority of them become "expert" overnight because their $100 portfolio went up in double digit percentage, and start giving their 2c because they've "made it" in the stock market.
Not to mention the endless SKT bashing without substantial evidence being produced. If they can present hard facts as to why SKT is a flop, all the power to you, but bashing a stock just because "hurrrr it's for boomers only" is not really convincing.
Good entertainment tho.
Be mindful of the S&P DJI NZX50 index changes to be announced soon - DYOR.

Head of Broadband role filled already. For those of you who actually believed this was a real listing.

Good move.
I also like the ambitious growth comment
The new CFO:
https://news.vodafone.co.nz/cfoappointment
Mr Woodbury has had an opportunity to demonstrate his strategic thinking and I would argue that a good strategic thinker that is able to implement this thinking into financial and commercial outcomes is more valuable than a CFO (appreciating that a good CFO should also possess some strategic ability). In terms of timing, Mr Woodbury had probably expressed a desire to leave and this is their way of retaining his services. I would also like to think that Martin (as opposed to some of the other Exec team) is a good judge of whether Mr Woodbury brings the necessary strategic skills to the table.
Discl: holder of SKT (some at significantly more than the current SP).
This Blair fellow was a McKinsey guy once— so has the skills to work out what Martin wants to do/say and then come up with whatever is needed to support the case.
He must be exceptional. He was already rewarded with heavily discounted shares during the CR (he never owned a single share prior to that).
Now he will get to do less work on higher pay. So long as he steeples his fingers at the Board Meetings, he should be fine.
Sounds like a good negotiator to me. Perhaps even better than Trump?
Maybe Blair can be the bad cop during negotiations for sports rights and Martin can be the nice guy giving a lifeline to the sports bodies. Blair can go low and Martin can go high. Yin and Yang.
...or maybe get Martin to authoritatively evisculate integrated relationships
He’s going to add real value this Blair guy
I love how the stock is in the green on a day like today. It just sums up everything about this stock. Bizarro world.
Seems odd that the "Head of Broadband" job ad was pulled yesterday. Then the CFO goes into an advisory position without a replacement. Result date moved forward even though company confirmed guidance.
Get the bubbly ready me thinks.
Who's putting the blocks of shares on at. .139. Been going on over the last few days usually around 160000 at a time.
Final phase of the game. No more buy ins...

Indexing likely to be announced today.
The two most vulnerable to be exited - NZR & SKT.
