HLG - Hallenstein Glasson

[percy]

I try and be philosophical mate. You can only be half wrong or half right when you sell half Philosophy 101 "To thine own self be true". If you think its a good company, even if you've done really well out of them in the past you need to keep some long term and try and ignore the short term price volatility.

I would never had invested in SUM had I not sold down some of my RYM.I would never invested in HLG had I not sold down some of my SUM.I would never have invested in ALF had I not sold some of my HLG.I would never invested in OCA had I not sold some of my ALF.Not looking to sell any OCA.[at this point in time],so will leave SKO to others.

Ok Percy, it's off topic but why does a fellow so well versed in all of this get services from Craig's. You are in a position where they should be coming to you. ASB will trade at .2% margin for a guru like you which I'm confident Craig's aren't. that's even more left over to pay IRD��

I enjoy and learn a lot from many of Percy’s posts, a lot of value given. Regardless of how he chooses to do business I think the quality of much of the ‘resear h’ done by these gurus and brokerage houses would certainly improve if they consulted him !

Sorry to sidetrack this thread.
When I was working selling books I had no time for sorting out Australian bank accounts,and paperwork with cash issues/rights issues,transfering money from one country to another,receiving Australian divies etc,so it was either do not bother with Australia, or do it through Craigs .Now I am retired I just can not be bothered.Less paperwork the better. .Rather spend my time on research.
NZ.Receiving good allocations of new issues soon paid for brokerage.Having access to my broker and Craigs research is helpful.
I have profitable fun with the share market.I do not want it to change from being a hobbie to work,

Looks like our Aussie buying friend is back today after a few days off. Wonder what they are willing to bid up to to get the amount they want?

Understand you selling half and keeping your "free" shares Mr Beagle but dont you find it hard watching your profits slipping away? I guess when its a good company the sp will gp back up again and the divvie is pretty good

See what a couple of days can do. Now I'm not sure I'm all that pleased I sold half or should that be kept half.... in fact I'm pretty sure I'm half confused lol
But one thing is for sure my furry bear friend, nobody ever went broke taking some money off the table when they'd doubled it.
