It looks as if there will be great uncertainty about Banks, not just John Banks, but money banks. We have Cyprus in trouble and Australia with problems about exporting another mountain to China. Does China want the mountain? If Gold yes, but the other stuff like coal and iron ore, we don't know.
Heartland Bank seems to have sufficient capital. But things do look difficult.
This is the problem. You place your cash in the bank, say BNZ. Another bank goes broke and you lose 10%?, 50% of your cash deposit.
Proposals do not seem to require shareholders of the bank to lose their cash!!!
What to do? Should we print more money?
Have a good week-end. (Being retired, the week-end starts Thursday, except for Percy who is thinking about money all week-end).
Having a bit of a sleep in tomorrow.Don't have to be on the road to Geraldine until 7am.Showered and getting ready for bed.
Having lovely dreams counting Heartland dollars rather than sheep.
No uncetainty with HNZ,only bank with a fresh licence,makes us "well positioned."
who is the supreme optimist with 9000 odd shares for sale at 75.00
havent seen it yet , must be good:)
What is the bet they want out at 75c mucked up the zeros.
This is a link to an English Language Cyprus newspaper. Reporting the bank problems with readers comments too. All very interesting if you want to spend the weekend worrying about cash. And bank deposits.

hasnt fired a shot today so far. Possibly the end of financial year, reporting season, divs, record dates and general melee throughout the market is having a toll on the punters.
Generally such order won't go through at current market price, don't know why this order can be on market.
I might buy a couple of 'em and enjoy the sudden spike for the few seconds the price sky rockets!
hope this isnt you mucking about, moosie
HNZ still could be a takeover target according its lagging price, any thoughts?
pleasure to read your depth analysis
There is no reason whatsoever for Haier to sell F&P finance. Haier is Chinese, they have access to very cheap cash. To my mind the Chinese are a possibility to buy Heartland since it gives them another cheap entry to NZ, plus their funds can get a pretty safe return on a good interest rate. Heartland is an already set up business. It could easily go offshore to China. Remember, if the Chinese buy then it is for the top few billionaires, not the masses. There is no idea of corporate responsibility, they invest on a pure profit for 'me' motive.
A useful report on the Auckland Airport.

Should Heartland buy FPF it would be well received by both shareholders and institutions,as it would be a great fit.
HNZ would be rerated upward very quickly.
Great catch 22;Should HNZ find FPF goes for more than they think it is worth,then the market will most probably rerate HNZ upwards because of the price FPF sold for.
Whatever, HNZ shareholders win either way.!!!
I would be more than surprised if FPF is sold to Heartland. Simply because Chinese business has oodles of spare cash that they want to spread around the globe. So, if FPF is sold, then more than likely it will be sold to a Chinese Company. Who can fund FPF afterwards with very cheap money. Thereby getting more cash out of China.
