1245544 2011-11-26 09:08:00 I'll probably invest in Solid Energy (just cause we're already addicted to fossil fuels). KarameaDave (15222)
1245545 2011-11-26 09:13:00 CIC will buy into Meridian and Mighty River Power.

Can't see them buying KiwiRail... The Iwi might like it.

Is Kiwibank up for sale?
That would be interesting.


How much are you looking to invest Dave??

1245546 2011-11-26 09:30:00 Even if KiwiRail goes up for sale I will not be buying any shares out of principle. :crying pcuser42 (130)
1245547 2011-11-26 09:51:00 Even if KiwiRail goes up for sale I will not be buying any shares out of principle. :crying

When was the last time, if ever, they made a profit??

Strip the assets and get a Knighthood.
Probably need a law change so foreigners can get the Royal sword.

1245549 2011-11-26 10:00:00 I can't afford to buy shares in anything. I suspect most of the people in NZ will feel the same way.

Therefore the shares will ( mostly ) go offshore!

1245551 2011-11-26 10:57:00 I see Don Brash has resigned!! Snorkbox (15764)
1245552 2011-11-26 11:19:00 I suspect they'll be oversubscribed - Iwi, Kiwisaver funds, and lots of mum & dad investors will want something safe to put their savings into, given all the concerns with the international economy, finance companies, and Euro-zone debt.

Personally I'm going to (try to) divert some savings into shares in the 3 energy companies; probably not Solid Energy given the anti-mining attitude of the electorate, but we'll see.

1245553 2011-11-26 11:20:00 Well Kiwirail and Kiwibank aren't up for sale (this term) so you can cross that bridge in 2014 if National campaign on partial sales in other SoEs - and if they win in 2014 that is. somebody (208)
