    True story - talk to real estate agents in that area and they all know it.
    Good for him!

    And I am only teasing. Whether the deal is signed this month or next month makes absolutely no difference to me.

    It is good that the Board are making sure they extract maximum value for shareholders - i.e doing their job.

    If it ends up taking a while to get the right deal done, then so be it.

    He got lucky.

    But it also shows how much land prices have moved in the last 6 months in Auckland region!

    Not necessarily always the case but the last 6 months in Auckland has been exceptional in terms of increased in land values.

    Maybe the market thinks that the campus is so worthless that Sky will end up needing to pay someone to take it off their hands?

    I can't think of another explanation to explain the vote of no confidence from Mr Market...

    Traders are bailing out while ‘believers’ are already way overweight.

    It is the old story, Balance. The market can stay irrational longer than the believers can remain solvent.
    Disc.... I am still solvent

    Didn't Ogg suggest that SKT would announce sale of some bricks & mortar today ?

    or was it all another false alarm ?
