I have just had an update from Craigs of our portfolios as per Friday afternoon.
Surprised to be cruising along nicely.Add the recent divies and it could be said VERY nicely.
At this stage the portfolios do not need any adjusting.
Cash from MVN,and the sale of RBC have let me buy a few more HGH and TRA.
The reasons i invested in TRA remain the same.I like the sector finance/insurance/property.used vehcle sales,and think TRA's sound strategy is on track.Just a few speed woobles.

James108 didn't see it coming but it has happened. From a 15th March 2019 article:
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/...ectid=12212968
"Based on today's figures the numbers suggest that net immigration inflows are on a strengthening trajectory, while they had earlier signalled a plateauing in net inflows at historically high levels," Smith said.
Positive for Turners?

With more Turners sites (from the rebranded Autowreck ones) advertising will be heaps more effective = improved bottom line
Might even go on TV nationally
Mind you they need to replace some light bulbs in the Turners sign at Wellington site first

Cashflow Effect of Nov 2018 to April 2019 Buyback

There is a line missing though
Buying back 4,474,000 shares at $2.57 would require $11.498 mil.
Cost of funding at 5% would be $574,909 which would be deductible.
Expenses go up, profit goes down. Dividend reduces
Savings on dividends, which are paid from after tax profit would be $yet to be calculated
OK, I am going to have a go a calculating the missing line.
Actual buyback was only for 2.6m shares in the end. I am not going to go through every buyback notice to see how many dollars were spent to do this. But my look at he share price chart complete with spikes of volume traded would suggest an average share purchase price of around $2.35. So money spent on the buyback was approximately:
$2.35 x 2.6m = $6.11m
Annual borrowing cost on that money, assuming a 5% interest rate, would be:
$6.11m x 0.05 = $0.306m
The borrowing costs on that incremental amount would be 'tax deductible'. So the reduction in net profit would be:
$0.306m x 0.7 = $0.214m
Annual dividends for FY2019 are forecast to be 17cps. That dividend will not be paid out on the shares bought back. So FY2019 cashflow from dividends not to be paid as a result of the buyback will be:
2.9m x 0.17 = $0.493m
So: 'Annual Extra Dividends Not Paid' - 'Annual Extra Interest Paid' = $0.279m
This means the buyback has worked well. A real 'cashflow positive' exercise.

That’s so cool
Does that mean they should buy everybody’s shares back except those held by insiders, Percy and yourself?

No Turners directors held shares in CBL to the best of my knowledge.
As you well remember I did post a warning,that you later quoted, about the dangers of investing in an insurance company.
I took heed of my own warning and never brought any CBL.

Fortunately French builders do not buy their utes from Turners (as far as I know). So we Turners shareholders should be in the clear?

Absolutely. You did, you did, you did and I trust you didn't.
Just saying that while directors holding is typically a positive indicator it is not always a sign that everything is nice and fluffy.
And lets be fair - while Grant Baker seems to be more unpopular when the shares he directors are in a downtrend (which is not that unheard of) ... I have less and less confidence that his interests are well aligned with the interest of retail shareholders. Too many red flags on the way.
Put him on my never again list.
