I'm a relative newbie, bought in shortly before the OD's were announced, and have found it quite trying, once I joined ST, to see how many people were so anti. Hector and Tieke sure didn't help.
Being something of a contrarian I've recently swapped most of my heads for OD's, feeling that the short-term upside possibilities outweighed the risk, having previously bought more OD's when the scornful were at full cry.
Well done NZO and NZ.
BTW I read the ann as a clear commitment to dividends whenever there's a reasonable amount of cash around, and so with 200mil coming from OD's, most likely, most likely there'll be a good divi next year.
