[limmy]

There are lots of "IF's" here.

Hi guys. It looks like Origin is very likely to sell Contact energy shares. Do you think IFT could buy them? or let Trustpower buy them?

Good dot joining sammie ; An article about this on the Contact thread.

Consumer complaints highest for Contact,least for Trustpower ,must be great opportunity for Trustpower if they change over to their billing system

[percy]

I went to a presentation Tim Brown of IFT put on last week.
They are one of very few people looking to buy CNE.
Would not fit in with Trust Power.
As the listed power companies are 50% owned by the Govt they will not be buyers.
Love to buy it at what IFT think is fair value..
sorry I thought I posted this somewhere.

Contact is 51% owned by Origin and the rest was flogged off to the NZ public etc. So it could be game on folks.

Oh dear what to do?
Portfolio 1.4% higher today at the moment than previous high.Can't convince myself to sell anything but should ??? But what ???
Share prices reflect the equilibrium between fear and greed

Now that IFT has locked in profits from the disposal of the remainder of its investment in ZEL, what will they do with the proceeds? Will they keep a war chest at the ready in case the market drops further? Have they got specific acquisitions already in mind (such as increasing their stake in MET)? Will they step up their buy-back programme? Or, will they make a cash capital return payment to shareholders?

I would think you are spot on with MET.They like the sector.Have a good exposure in Aussie but underweight here.

They are looking at Pacific Hydro in Australia which given it is worth over a Billion, would probably need to be another JV (with the Superfund?).
