Hey, I'm a complete newbie to this, only just found this site a week ago and it has been very helpful. I'm currently a student studying commerce at Victoria Uni and I've been thinking about purchasing shares into a retirement home company - MET, SUM or RYM. This was mainly due to the fact that "New Zealand has an ageing population" coming up in class, over the last few years, often. I did some research into those three companies and discovered that I liked Ryman the best. Got close to purchasing the shares in January but pussied out. I am now ready to but the shares, but the market over the past few days has scared me off a little.
Basically, I was wondering if investing into Ryman was still worth it? I'm looking at investing around $1000, as that's all I have, and mainly looking at around 5 of investment.
