    Belgarion just about picked the bottom and upswing bang on from 5 June - sp was 43 cents, now 54 cents = 25.5% gain.

    During that time, NZOG has gone?
    Stockpickers are like monkeys on typewriters, if you have enough of them someone is bound to write a novel from pure chance.

    LOve it - says that a monkey has a better chance of getting it right than all the noggers put together?

    I think that's what you are stating, right?

    Thank you for sharing this outstanding pearl of wisdom, Arjay.

    Arjay ,Monkeys writing novels,its like saying if someone took a sledgehammer and broke your
    Watch into a million pieces then placed the pieces into a box,and asked the monkey to shake The box until the pieces reformed back into a ticking watch again. It will not happen.
    Monkey Poms.

    Arjay fancies himself as a master philosopher - trouble is he cannot get the analogies right.

    This one will haunt him for a long time to come.

    A chimpanzee could have told him that the analogy is that monkeys throwing darts at a stock sheet will strike as many good ones as the rated analysts out there.

    Statistically it can happen Monkey Poms. If there are a million pieces then chance dictates that they will randomly fall back together if the monkey shakes the box enough times. The number of times will be astronomical, however as evidence that such things do happen note that Balance, NZO's greatest nemesis, did in fact complement the company after only around 3800 posts. If Balance can say something nice about NZO then a monkey can put a broken watch back together again.

    NZOG can do no wrong - especially Andrew Knight as he is new to NZOG.
    I wonder if Balance turned down his invitation to discuss the issues with Andrew.
    Did anyone go?

    That one had me laughting Arjay.

    Just the other day the TV had a article about the scientific basis for the definite link between the full moon and its effect on people. I had wondered if it was the full moon that was responsible for Balances wayward praise of NZO. But I guess it can not be as the full moon comes every month and so far Balance praise has only happen once. Guess this would make a great psychological study. Wonder if he will live long enough for it to ever happen again.

    Arjay the odds are about the same as the NZ Government giving back ( for free ) to NZO the most valuable asset that it has ever owned - Pike
    with the consent to opencast the mine.

    To work with a new set of DOC officials who will not repeat the damaging conditions once placed on the Pike management in the past.

    With a guarantee NZO's management do not screw up and appoint a monkey who knows nothing about mining.
    ( as they were responsible in appointing one to run Pike from the start, he disappeared from the mess he created a short time before
    the mine blew up ).

    Arjay the odds. The monkey has a better chance of putting your watch together.
    Monkey Poms.

    Balance had to stay home and fix his watch. The balance spring was broken.
