    Thanks snoopy for your wise words.
    My mistake of course was in hindsight-I am happy that I made the right decision to reduce risk.
    Youngest son-who has a margin lending account like me-needed money so rather than using bank of mum and dad I suggested he sold 1/2 of his contact-in the $7 dollar range .Still a good decision and he will learn to be happy to take gains just as I am

    Contact closes at $9.05 ! Wow. I was underwater for ages with this one after buying on Craigs recommendation in 2014.
    Averaged down a couple of times. And waited. Have been well rewarded with dividends and capital growth.
    Now our 3rd biggest holding.

    "As at 9 September 2019, total Clutha scheme storage (including uncontrolled storage) was 24% of mean "

    Anyone know what this means ? Anything at 24% of the mean sounds like quite a deviations to me. One of my bigger holdings.

    I'd say it sounds like insufficient rain in the Southland region ...

    Lucky the other hydro stores are not that empty ...

    Yeah....that's what it felt like to me as well. But other figures in there....."Inflows into Contact’s Clutha catchment for August 2019 were 74% of mean (July 2019: 145%, June 2019: 104%, May 2019: 160%)"....made me wonder if I was reading it right ? Then I guess that's not great news for Contact.

    ... certainly not for the branch of their business generating power from the Clutha hydro system ;

    The Clutha receives most of its inflows in Spring and Summer, and very little over winter. It only has Hawea as a storage lake, so this is the only one that gets measured. This year Contact appear to have drained Lake Hawea lower than normal because of the reduced inflows in August/September, in anticipation of the snow melt arriving in October/November. Snow pack is not measured as part of the storage as it cannot be accurately measured, but the indications are that it has been a good snow year in the South Island.

    The watch going forward would be that a La Nina pattern looks likely for the coming year, and that is normally lower rain for the Hydro catchments.
