If it wasn't for Ogg's enthusiasm/predictions and mistaTea's commitment, i would have said goodbye to Skt a long time ago.

Am glad to have stayed with SKT. They are now heading in the right direction and hopefully this truly reflects on the stock price

It could run back to 16 if not 17 in the short term

I'm proposing a "scientific wager":

Similar to that of the Simon–Ehrlich wager: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon%...3Ehrlich_wager

Background:

I was just having a look at the market cap of Z Energy, which as of today is $1.4B. It seems pretty large, especially considering that the stock has dropped so much recently. From a high of around $9, all the way down to $2.60 today. It got me thinking, in 20 or 30 years time, aren't all the cars on the road going to be electric? If so, why isn't this stock trading like it's Sky TV and going out of business?

The Wager

Here's the wager. Will satellite terrestrial TV outlive the gasoline car? In other words, will a significant amount of people still be using satellite TV when a significant amount of people are using electric cars, and therefore the need to fuel up with petrol is no longer necessary. Obviously, you're not going to get 100% of people driving electric cars and 0% of satellite and vice versa. But in general, will the average person still have a coaxial satellite connection with their TV, when the average person has an electric car?

The Stakes

In the year 2040: Loser has to either full up the winner car with a full tank of petrol or pay for one years of satellite television.

Any takers?

I'll be more specific:

I think satellite TV penetration (including Freeview) is about 50% of NZ households.

I think today 10% of new cars are electric in NZ.

So in the year 2040, will there be more satellite TV's than petrol cars in NZ households?

Interesting comparison Ogg. Goes to show how much energy you put into SKT

I believe satellite tv will be dead by 2040 or sooner. Elon is already building the Starlink network. And others will soon follow. This will eliminate the need for a physical connection for internet to household.

Similarly, electric or hydrogen which ever may be our future. Gasoline cars may go the cigarettes way. Get extremely expensive to run.

Someone is very bored!

I thought you were going to 'take matters into your own hands' if no takeover happened when the results were announced? Or did that comment just refer to a pending 'duel with the pink Darth Vader'?
