    Now I have a question.

    For many years we were far too busy being flat broke and paying off mortgages to pay attention to this Sharemarket thing.

    In the last decade I've invested a small amount (relatively speaking) in the sharemarket, on and off, to try to figure it out. And over the last decade have learnt a lot.

    But something still eludes me. Takeovers.

    Over the years of logging in and out of here I've come across mild warnings of "takeovers"

    Now my understanding is that Takeovers can be friendly or hostile and whoever does it needs a LOT of shares to attempt it.

    Friendly doesn't seem to be on the cards for this company.

    Hostile? The biggest shareholder is NZ Central Securities at 37.49% followed by Forthsyth Barr Custodians at
    4.34%

    Anyone know anything about who the biggest shareholder is? Who they represent? And whether they are a threat?

    Good question Merc.

    To start your analysis which imo will add hugely to your investment acumen, start with having a look through PEB’s announcements for the SPHs filed :

    Thank you Balance.

    Forgive me if I am wrong, but aren't you one of the ones who mentioned takeovers once or twice?

    Now in that haystack, any clues as to where the needle is hidden?

    And as for "investment acumen?"

    30 odd years ago we invested, not in shares, but in the parallel universe of property.

    Believe me. Many lessons learnt along the way work for both.

    Economic cycles? Property cycles? Supply and demand? ... Got it.

    But my knowledge of property is far, far superior to my knowledge of shares (kind of busy staying broke and paying off large mortgages for too many years to invest much money in the sharemarket)

    Thus my question about Takeovers and if there is a threat.

    Is there a real one?

    Got them at 67c 😳

    Decided why muck around for 2c when one is counting on them putting on many many more cents than 2c.
