You could be on for a very good year ahead as Jarden rate both OCA and SUM as "outperform"

Jarden are smart people. Note the use of happy imagery including a dog and grandchild on the beach at page 23 to market their wealth management business.
OCA management might like to take notes as they move slightly more towards developing upmarket apartments and selling a lifestyle.
Looking after old people is sometimes not a very "sexy" business but I feel OCA could improve their marketing by "selling the sizzle". An attractive looking couple in their early 70's with an attractive dog, (like a Beagle) and a grandchild looking happy with the Sands apartments in the background, photo taken on Browns Bay beach would be good imagery to include in their marketing material and website. Needs to be authentic though, must be a couple living at the Sands apartments who have a dog.
People moving into a new facility are worried they will be lonely and making it clear, (through good imagery) that OCA embraces them bring their pet cannot hurt their business and might help it.

Who remembers the Spot the telecom dog advertising campaign that was so incredibly successful for Telecom in the 1990's ?
Hope so. I have a lot of Kingfish warrants I am aiming to exercise in March 21 and they have heaps of ATM and MFT.
I think we've seen the thesis drawn up by OCA by the roadmap they've made to go premium. Even people here have talked about how it will go, the only thing we've not seen is the execution of it. I've still got questions about the care side of the business being an viable point of difference. I can see a huge gain from selling of units in the HY unit, but the care side of the business is still a big question mark for me.

Well, I suppose. However - always dangerous to rely on so called smart money getting it right. Sometimes money is not that smart at all ... and even the managers of this money happen to have better as well as not so good days.
Jarden (or NZ First as they used to call themselves at that stage) used hold plenty of CBL shares ... when the Reserve Bank discovered that CBL used to be bankrupt since IPO ... and even the infallible Warren Buffett went heavily into airlines short before they became unprofitable.
Anyway: holding OCA, but not sure I consider them as safer just because Jarden happens to be on the share register as well.
You know me mate...I always follow my own nose for a good feed but I couldn't help noticing that all the analysts covering OCA seem to be keen on its prospects.
3 BUY's and 1 Accumulate. https://www.marketscreener.com/quote...268/consensus/
Commiserations to those of you who were holding A2M, but does anyone else think it could create some heat in the retirement stocks? They are just such a safe bet going forward and there is likely (even with A2 having such a drop) some cashed up investors looking for somewhere to place that $63 million that was sold of A2 today ...
Perhaps...Even our Labour PM has said kiwis expect their residential real estate always to go up in value - so I am assuming governments of all colours will protect real estate above all else. Certainly the current PM has no appetite to try to change the investment environment status quo. She may be socially liberal, but she seems to be economically conservative.
So as companies leave the NZX either through (foreign) takeovers or relocating to the ASX to access capital, all that may be left may be NZX listed companies whose assets are centred on real estate. So for the kiwis who invest outside real estate and who want to invest in listed shares, it may increasingly be a choice between NZ listed real estate centric companies or overseas listed companies. Maybe an exaggeration but, to me, that is how it seems to be headed fwiw.
FED news on CNBC has said no interest rate rises until 2023 this morning. Doubtful there will be any rates rises here for a while and house prices up for next 5 years. This sector and commercial property. ARG, GMT Ect should also continue to be highly sort after.
Agreed. Ultra low interest rates for the foreseeable future could see a whole decade of tailwinds for the property sector. I intend to hold OCA for at least the rest of this decade.
SUM up 800% since listing in 2011 plus dividends, RYM up 700% plus dividends in the last decade, lets see how OCA go.
We have been talking about the number expat kiwis who are coming home because of covid. I am starting to wonder how many affluent foreign boomers will want to come and retire in nz. Auckland harbour is on show to the world right now, a world experiencing winter and full on covid. Many people will be spending time in their living rooms and possibly thinking "what if". These foreigners are not able to purchase nz property but can they buy a LTO in a retirement village... maybe far fetched idea and won't happen.
They'll need to be around 70 years old.Quote:

70 is the new 50? Fit and active tho some will be burnt out 70 yo so there will be different motivations, common thread could be they are high risk to catch covid and die... I think if I was overseas in that age bracket with spare cash I would be seriously thinking about getting out. Problem is borders here are almost locked shut to non kiwis, I can't see that changing for a few months at least. So probably won't happen.
