    Now we know. Exchange rate 65 point something certainly doesn't help either. Fair value...who knows ?, certainly not me.

    As the NZ continues to slip slide away Cameron Bagrie talking margin squeeze. One of his tweets

    Retailers are set for a tough Xmas. Lower NZD/USD lifts import prices and good luck passing on a 10% or so price rise. #marginsqueeze


    My experience says that retailers also have a demand problem as NZD drops - higher costs for consumers (petrol etc) means less overall spend


    Can HLG manage a drop in demand along with a margin squeeze

    And you have not added in rent increases,insurance increases,power increases or wage increases.
    Best to leave any IT upgrade to another year.
    Problem of trying to maintain market share, means increased advertising expenditure.
    Just as well their online sales have gained momentum,however higher prices there, will also affect demand.

    Yes prices are highly pressured in clothing. I inadvertently see online clothes shopping on the partners laptop. so much cheap stuff! So I am glad I reduced to half the position at 6.30 but would go back in at 5. Still near on 5% of equity portfolio. Back winners.
    For clarity, nothing I say is advice....

    So glad I haven't reduced any, still at 30% of portfolio and no intention of reducing, let's see how their Aussie growth goes.PS-Take a lot of this social media crap with a large grain of rock salt, the same goes for doom and gloom news items.

    More good news Couts

    Retail Card Spend for August showed Apparel sales up 0.6%

    Not up much relative to other groups but still up

    So with HLG stores growing market share they must be doing more than OK

    That Glassons store in Queenstown looks pretty fancy mate and Hallenstein's store also a superb locality. Pity neither sells anything that improves my skiing ability

    Don't worry about skiing.
    The important thing in Queenstown is to look the part.

    As Couta1 will attest, I did a very good impersonation of an emperor penguin doing a belly flop at one point lol
    That currency a bit of a worry...could be heading down to 62 cents as ANZ have forecasted
