    Cool A point of order

    Anyway as Hoop quite rightly says, this is a terrific long term hold stock and that's exactly the reason I topped up so short term price aberrations (random walk theory) don't phase me too much.
    I think what my learned colleague is trying to say is not that he abandoned all reason and bought shares in Tegel per se, but that his action in buying shares yesterday in Summerset whilst not of immediate financial benefit to himself could have been of a more destructive nature, viz a viz, by a purely hypothetical purchase of shares in Tegel.

    I apologise in advance for my ignorance, but was looking at the recent result presentation & it left me confused.
    I saw NPAT was $145m, which included fair value gains of $143m How can you get excited about an organisation that only makes $2m from normal earnings ?

    Think Ponzi schemes.
    Retirement company puts up capital for one village.
    Sells occupancy rights,taking developement margin.In profit already.
    Then uses that capital to build another village.Another profit.
    And so on, until it has a good number of villages, without having to front up with more capital.
    So towards the end of the day, the retirement company owns a great number of villages, all generating operating fees and more profits from resale of occupancy rights.
    And it is legal..

    If I may be so bold your 'ignorance' comes from not reading further into the accounts.

    When you get to the Statement of Cash Flows you should at that point have a 'light bulb' moment.

    TA works the other way around James...TA is a discipline which indicates the mood of the people who buy and sell on the market...so... if mass 'technical' sell signal was triggered it would be due to many more investors wanting out than wanting in..... then those who follow that sort of thing (TAers including me) follow the herd out (Couta's Nervous Nellies Sheeples Brigade)

    Lol it did go through. We'll see. I'm pretty happy with this share as I think long term you can't really go wrong. I'm happy to buy up around $5.

    This is also why we should not expect high dividend payments from companies like SUM. Shareholders benefit more from the self-reinforcing cycle of cash left in the "scheme".
