AIR - Air NZ.

So the price does not magically just drop the exact amount the div was, people just cashing out for a quick buck..... 160K you see it as a long term roller coaster then? Spark mmmm nah.

With respect Drummer, take it to the Newbies thread, or maybe Investing Strategies thread, this is basic stuff and people are happy to help if you ask in the right forum. There are others here who have big things to consider like how badly they're getting gazumped or when will they be buying the bottom.

Close at $2.08 was followed by 185,100 trading at 2.09/2.10, 62k of those off market, so while some here are unloading, others are obviously buying. That's about 10% of the total volume today after hours (total is around average compared to recently). Could be a good battle from here and heading into the recent low at $2.02, might see some solid buyer support emerging again around here. A double bottom and buyer support would be a good sign for the chartists. Patience is agonising when it's happening in the now. Plenty of fingers on the triggers I suspect, either way.

I am finding it a lot more enjoyable watching from the sidelines.

Those couple of spins you took on the Aircoaster enough for a while aye Percy.

Yes very much so.
I ended up thinking I did not have a clue what I was doing,and had been lucky,rather than investing sensibly.A total loss of conviction.
On Friday I decided to sell small cap Aussie shares I had "lost conviction" for,and added AIR to the list.
I think AIR is a bit like NZR,just too many variables for me to understand.

Yes I think AIR is a bit like NZR,just too many variables for me to understand.

Only one variable really - people.
Reading this forum I see a lot of logic - reason why the stock should do x or y.
Unfortunately it seems there are a lot of people buying and selling the stock that don't have the same logic and haven't read this forum.
People, emotions and herds.

That correlation between that ^XAL index and AIR can't possibly continue today, can it?

Maybe just a perception thing and not really a correlation anyway.

Index down nearly 3% overnight for what's worth

[winner69]

Load of the proverbial that so called correlation anyway

Last 3 months XAL down a tad but AIR down 25%

Maybe XAL trying to catch up?

No I think you misunderstood me.
I was meaning the affects of the price of oil,foreign exchange rates,capex spending on new aircraft,competition,terms of alliances,and the undwinding of the VAH shareholding.

Probably a share that is better understood by studying the woods rather than the trees.
