    And sure - we all have our fair share of losers in the portfolio (well, I do - and TRA was one of them). It is just that sometimes it appears that for holders the endowment effect is overtaking the analytical skills :
    Objectives.When I am achieving my objectives it proves my research,and capital allocations is paying off.
    Objective 5% growth...........Result 26.95%....Over 5 times the objective.
    Objective 5% yield..Achieved.
    This coming years objective.5% growth and steady dividends.Turners provide a good part of the steady dividends, and I would expect in the next year or two, [or three] they will provide good growth too.
    I could not have asked more from my portfolio.At present time I have been adding to any company I hold that has an earnings upgrade ie ASX's MMI[doubled],MSV[doubled],and AQZ[added 60%].
    I also added to my [asx] TFL in their rights issue .In NZ I liked ALF's house keeping so added a few more.

    Shouldn't we talk on this thread about TRA?

    I remember a time when a poster named percy told me that he invests into companies who do what they say. Not sure, whether latter is true for TRA. They said that they want to become a one stop shop for buyers of pre-loved cars. However, this apparently was too hard for them despite charging an increased board fee for all the complications. Now they invented a new aspirational goal to become the netflix of second hand car dealing - whatever this means.

    How do you measure whether Turners is keeping their promises? Do you at all - or did you just turn into a "believer"?

    The relocated and new branches.Using insurance company capital reserves for property development.Expanding foot print.Number of revenue streams.Simple good sense to me.Moving from wholesale to retail is working.
    Yes I like the business [selling second hand cars], and yes I like the people.They are doing what they say they will do.
    Same worked for me with HGH,EBO,FRE,MFT and is working a treat with PAZ.
    Hard to explain but Turners are doing what I want,not just their business,but I am achieving the dividend I want.No matter
    what the sp does over the next year or two, I will receive 17 cents plus or minus per share.The divie is fully imputed and paid quarterly.Regular divies mean I do not have to sell any shares to live.Makes a big difference to a retiree.
    Once eps grow then we will see the sp rise.

    Right time for me to take another break.
    Have a good weekend.

    My wife's and my portfolios have been updated by Craigs this morning.Our portfolios have a mixture of growth and yield stocks.
    The objective has been to achieve 5% growth and 5% dividend yield.
    Since exactly a year ago they have achieved 26.95% growth.On top of this we have enjoyed substantial income from dividends.
    With this growth, the dividend % yield has decreased,although the dividends have increased.No dividend reinvestments.
    Solid research rather than hope provides growth and yield .
    The coming year objectives are:5% plus growth and steady dividends.
    Fantastic returns Percy. Well done! I'm sure your break will be enjoyed even more knowing that you received another Turner's dividend just a few days ago :-)

    The impression that I am getting is that Milford are selling down even lower. Where do people see the bottom price? I keep thinking this is a good price then it goes down another cent or two. That dividend looks mouth watering indeed. I hold a few shares but not a lot. I won’t sell my A2 shares, as they keep rising. I am not too worried about TRA as I feel it is a great company. I have purchased a car firsthand from Turners and can not fault their service.

    If you want to invest in a car company, then which one do you think is the best bet?

    Thanks for your opinion and yes Colonial have done really well in the last years. Not too sure whether that growth will continue for both companies. We know it is tough out there in the automotive game, but I am looking forward to seeing Todd on the 22 August.

    Actually, I am not invested in CMO. The point I was hoping to make is that TRA has not been succeeding while CMO has. One company's strategy has been failing them, while the other's has clearly been working for them. I doubt if actually seeing Todd will make a difference to the share price.

    What part has been failing Silver or are you just talking about the current weak s/p and big fundie selling down? Pretty strong generalisation imo. Being a holder i look forward to the meeting. I dont doubt that you double doubt it making a difference as you have no interest and won't be there. No doubt about that.

    No generalisation involved - just the facts shown by the charts. Did you look at the charts? The last two years show a steadily declining SP for TRA whereas CMO has been moving upwards. Hence, I am not just talking about the current weak SP or funds selling out. I am talking persistent downtrend followed by an admission by TRA that their strategy of coupling insurance with vehicle sales is failing while they seem to be adopting an (internationally) unproven "rental" model with increased risk, which might explain why the fund is moving on.
    If you can express the reasons for CMO's success in the face of TRA's lack of success, then we will be much more informed.
    I cannot believe in unsubstantiated statements of faith but I can believe in rational explanations as to why TRA might reverse their performance (seeing Todd face to face is not one of them).
