Mercury rises to challenge with strong FY2019 result
EBITDAF down 11%, Profit up 53% on the back of gains on metering business. No further information in the simple release to understand what the result looks like with the one off taken out - would have been interesting to note given "average" hydro generation. Drop in interest rates will help ongoing depending on what their hedged position looks like.
market loves the results new highs today

Doesn't sound like it there is a low cost effective solution.
I find myself in the absolutely unbelievable position of having MCY has my largest holding.
The price that Mercury & the like are trading at is beyond belief. :confused:
More rational to accept the low rate for a year, then buy in when the price goes down.
What happens if we have low rates for 5 years?
Might the price go up and up?
You could miss out on any profit anywhere.
Diversification is the rational answer.
Its rational if you are at retirement age to have some in the bank and some in safe stocks as well as property(at least your house)
Diversification to me is 2 houses,an orchard(diversified of course),6 stocks, and a few smaller varied investments including legally tight mortgage to son.
Diworsification would be 3 stocks.
I see Red Lights everywhere but it doesnt stop me moving forward(not traffic lights).
I have no money in the bank as it would stay the same or diminish
Couta have a look back at your post # 1159 , MEL would have to fall 40 % from here to be at your "overpriced " level ....
"The market can stay irrational for longer than you can stay solvent" ......
Maybe something has changed ...that would be the trillions of money on negative yields around the world ...
Thoughts on what a good value price for this is now?
