    Default The ebb and flow

    Occaisionally someone comes up with that great piece of financial wisdom "A rising tide lifts all boats". Which is true except for those boats that spring a leak.
    Although I have never heard it, presumably someone somewhere (it could me me, here) has also said "A falling tide drops all boats, except for the ones where they finaly fix the holes up and pump out, and the ones that hit the bottom which obviously don't sink further though they may get stuck in the mud...."

    Where was I? Stuck in the mud, right.

    Anyways, as the NZX sinks so does most of the companies listed on it, despite the fact that a number of them remain very good companies. If SKC city is hitting bargain category then I am sure there are a number of better bargains.

    Actually given their performance, levels of debt etc I never understand why SKC trades at such a high price, is it the cash flow?

    Very good PT

    I also agree with you that SKC is pretty highly priced.

    The paper said a cheeky bid at $5 might be coming soon. Cheeky because it less than the $6 everybody thought would be coming a few months ago

    Put youself in the place of a private equity investor ..... even at current price he would need to fork up with $2 billion for the SKC shares and take on SKC's $1 billion of debt ...... thats $3 billion ...... all for a $250M operating cash flow (before capex)

    And just imagine would levels of debt a purchaser would have if the purchase was even only moderately leveraged

    SKC still think it may happen ..... you never know it just might .... funnier things have before

    So redzone might be on to something .... SKC might be a good buy at the moment .... but like PT if this is the case prob better opportunities

    Warren Buffett has a saying that goes something like - "You only find out who is swimming naked when the tide goes out"

    the cheaper the stock price gets the stronger the case becomes....the company has been put on the block ...it is for sale...just how much is someone willing to pay is the question...I did dip my toes in yesterday and will drip feed from here on in if it continues to fall...there is one big seller...and has a few left to sell by the looks of it....cant see much further down side really...maybe 3.90 bottom....where are the charts guys???
