There have been rumours so this indication by the board can only cement them??
Boom!!!
Anyone getting in on the action?
I'm fully invested so not looking at it.

Best to stay clear of some of these sell downs.
Look at the AIA sell down.
Hedge funds got involved and the sp fell 5 cents below placement price as they sold down.

Money is scarce as most investors are "all in". ...Look at others such as AIA ATM STU, it has taken them a long time to absorb the surplus "available" shares into the market
If the SKT is sweet enough >$4.75??..I wonder which share or shares the investors would dump to take up the SKT scenario...Hmmm it may be time to review the more iffy shares in my portfolio to minimise this backwash risk.
Hmmm ...This sell down would have to be viewed as smart money exiting.....I'm taking Balances advice ...I think there will be plenty of time to think about this as more details emerge.
Looking back to some previous posts..4 months ago...the writing was on the wall then.....CJ great post in hindsight..eh?
I think the world is changing and SKT current business environment has to alter....Agree with Halebop 100%.

I wonder what dark clouds are on the horizon for Sky? The Todd's usually have a pretty long telescope - and their vision is generally spot on.

quite predictable really.
Imagine sitting around the board room table sipping whisky and smoking a cigar: "Todds just sold out, if Murdoch does, out IC's are gone. Maybe we should do a bonus dividend".
All eyes go to News Corps representative. A simple nod from him confirms the plan and a motion is raised and seconded and a resolution passed. A simple shake of the head and they could have retained that cash.

And with MRP coming up as well.
Markets too good not to be all in but it would be a great time to be cashed up with all these discounted placements happening.
I am wondering what I should be selling down to get into MRP. Or maybe I should just put it on the house, I am sure ASB would oblige if I told them it was for renovations.
