    Duncan,
    Prices prior to the merger are based on corrected WRI data. That is how charts covering such a merger are usually presented. That is how Yahoo Finance handled it.

    If you feel that I am playing fast and loose with the data and do not trust this process, simply ignore all of the chart prior to 10/10/05. Guess what? You get the same signals, the same marked drop in the OBV, the same excellent OBV entry point in February etc etc.
    PHAEDRUS, Any chart or other form of analysis is only as good as its accuracy. Like I said i had PGG up to the merger and yet post a chart for a company that did not exist before the merger. It might be accurate after the merger but for a pgg holder Its totally useless. If they cant even get the name of the company right what other things do they overlook. I do like the way you post your charts but this one leaves a lot to be desired. macdunk

    So it looks like Fonterra will be expanding its RD1 stores in the South Island. Products and services catering to the beef, sheep and cropping sectors to be introduced over time to complement RD1's existing strengths in dairy.
    What do sharetraders think?

    NZ's Fonterra in retail services deal with Landmark
    Monday May 22, 2006, 9:48 am
    WELLINGTON, May 22 (Reuters) - New Zealand dairy giant Fonterra Co-operative said on Monday it had reached a deal with Australia's Landmark to expand retail services to their rural customers.

    Landmark is the rural trading and services division of Australian national wheat exporter, AWB Ltd. (ASX: AWB.ax) .

    Under the new deal, a joint venture in New Zealand and an alliance in Australia will introduce new services like finance, insurance and real estate plus an expanded livestock sales service through Fonterra's RD1 stores in New Zealand and new Landmark Fonterra branded stores in Australia, the companies said in a joint statement.

    "The RD1 stores in New Zealand and the Landmark Fonterra outlets in Australia are destined to become the leading one-stop shop for all the supply needs of dairy farmers," RD1 Chief Executive John Lea said.

    Products and services catering to the beef, sheep and cropping sectors will be introduced over time to complement RD1's existing strengths in dairy.

    Fonterra, which has 51 RD1 stores in New Zealand, will expand the number of its stores in the South Island, while the Landmark Fonterra chain will intially begin with 11 outlets in Victoria in Australia before looking to expand.

    Landmark, which has 430 stores in Australia, will make a net investment of NZ$35-45 million ($22-28 million) in the joint venture.

    Unlisted Fonterra is owned by around 12,000 farmer shareholders and generates around 20 percent of New Zealand's exports and 7 percent of gross domestic product.

    Unusual volume and up 20 against the tide today, as it were. Didn't this get a broker downgrade on the back of the story above (NZ First Capital?)? So something bubbling away in the background? More Aussie poachers, perhaps?

    Don't PGC and Craig Norgate's company (Rural Porfolio something) have a majority stake between them?

    You're quite right PT. I forgotten about that. Each also has pre-emptive rights to the other's holding. So just some portfolio activity then, you reckon?

    PGG Wrightson cuts profit forecast by $3m to $27m

    Tuesday July 4, 2006
    By Martha McKenzie-Minifie


    PGG Wrightson has cut its profit forecast by 10 per cent, after bad weather in the South Island and delays in selling surplus property.

    New Zealand's largest rural service company, formed last year by Craig Norgate, yesterday announced it expected a net profit of around $27 million, after a $10 million deduction for amortisation, compared with a previous forecast of $30 million.

    The result included $7.5 million in one-off items, PGG Wrightson chief executive officer Barry Brook said.

    Shares in the company fell 22c to $2.00.

    Brook said a wet May and cold and snowy June in the South Island affected the company.

    "We've had reduced livestock activity and farmers haven't been spending to the same extent," said Brook. "The regrassing activities have been down and the wet weather impacted on the maize harvest in the North Island too."

    He said some property that became surplus through last year's merger of PGG and Wrightson had taken longer than expected to sell.

    Brook would not elaborate but said more detail would be available in the company's annual results announcement next month.

    Goldman Sachs JBWere analyst Rodney Deacon was surprised at the size of the downgrade and said the company was previously "pretty adamant" about achieving its $30 million forecast.

    Deacon said there could be more bad weather, which could further affect the company's performance.

    Forsyth Barr analyst John Cairns said the announcement was not a surprise.

    "It is negative but then when you consider the trading environment - they are directly impacted by the climatic conditions, so it's to be expected in a company such as this."

    Cairns said the company's confirmation that synergies achieved through the merger of Pyne Gould Guinness and Wrightson were expected to exceed $25 million a year was positive.

    * Pyne Gould Corporation, an investment company which holds a stake in PGG Wrightson, yesterday announced it expected to report a year end operating profit above last year's result, notwithstanding more difficult trading conditions in the rural sector.

    MICK, Never think you will hold long term even although it looks like a long term hold. I thought i was in this company long term but bailed out on my sell system then rebought back in. It certainly looks good fundamentely with the lower dollar plus the mad cow disease in the USA plus bird flue worries. If the sp rises to fast we might get another 15pc play at the top so dont stick them under the bed just yet. macdunk
    Anyone out there with them under the bed?. It is a situation that was easy to work out. Bad weather worse than normal, before the dropping dollar got drip fed back to the farm. This is a dead certainty uptrend when the shock of winter wears off. This looks like a 20pc play coming up [plus dividends] in the next 12 months.

    Does that mean you have recently bought back in and at what price?

    I recently sold at 2.19.

    The last of the downside i think is over. The only other unresolved bad news is the deer velvet downtrend. The price dropped to far with the butter scare looks like the uptrend starts now. Whoever bought at under $2-00 is looking at a bargain. macdunk
