Chris - Thank you and the NZO management for actively engaging in PR. This has single handedly reduced some of the discount in the shareprice. Keep up the good work!

The US are not making any friends around the world.
I wasn't aware of the expenditure on Guam (and not to trivialise it - that's 'only' equivalent to a handful of B2s).
But that does give me some comfort. All (or many?) NZO holders have cottoned to the fact that oil is going to be a resource that will be squabbled over when the going gets tough - and it will. Keep in mind that the Pacific war was triggered by oil embargo on Japan and always remember what human nature is like - I am comforted by a refurbishment at Guam.. especially if the Great South Basin is ever a goer.
The conspiracists probably won't believe me: but Iraq wasn't actually about oil, however Darfour is - proof: note who vetoed in the security council.
So - what if NZO discovers a field off Taranaki that is big enough to propel NZ into OPEC - Then I say 'build another 10 Guams' - I prefer coca cola to anything else.
Let's nominate Digger for the board.
Could we come up with enough votes?
