Auckland International Airport Limited (AIA)

My guess is that $2.10 will be the new fair value of AIA on the market today.

The market say more like $2.00. An overreation? What is the true value of AIA sans bid?

this is Air New Zealand all over again....I wonder if the NZ S uper fund is buying up large today on behalf of the Labour Government

Michael & Helen don't care about what is best for NZ. They only care about a populist move that will probably get them more votes in election year.

That nasty lttle prick will be having a ball today..quietly chuckling away to himself about all those "rich pricks" loosing dosh....the more folk get into him and his boss.... he loves it.

I wish the Canadian's could sue our Government over this. Fair enough if they had pushed this through immediately when the Dubai bid was lodged, but they wait until just over a week before the offer is about to close. First they try the old "close the tax loophole" trick, and when that didn't work, they have to take these measures. If Helen wants to buy my shares for $3.65, then she can have them, if she doesn't want to pay that, then let the shareholders decide if they want to sell or not. It is a bit like Cullen overtaxing employees for years on the basis that he know best, and people will make the wrong decisions if you leave it up to them.

This is just another example of why all of our best people are moving to Australia. At least the airport is getting some use.

If there were any, I suspect that there is even less now, given the latest moves by our great Socialist protectors.

MacDuffy might be right though; this could present a buying opportunity, however I believe this is probably a long term proposition. Overall I would be very cautious to re-enter AIA at all given the ever-present dark hand of Labour.

Vote ACT!

I didn't mind them (Cullen) until I sent off my acceptance yesterday, Prik cost me some money.

The amalgamation loophole must have been interesting.

What a pack of freaking idiots.

They have totally ruined forigen investment, how can one government be so xenophobic.

Freaking idiots, yes. Xenophobic, no (just look at the hordes of 3rd world faces that Labour has allowed to come in to help "build a knowledge economy" by setting up plenty of convenience stores in Auckland's CBD).

I admit I'm really scared of all of the legislation they may pump through in the next 10 months before they are booted out. The same happened three years ago just before the elections.

Well done labour! Excellent move, that I fully support. Who here would own a house and happily sell their front gate and driveway to the next door neighbour?

It's amazing all the pseudo political bull**** that some people start spouting when they have lost money on the stockmarket.

It's the stock market people, not the "it's my right to make money or I'll cry" market.
