    Default TWR - Tower Insurance.

    Hey guys,

    What do you think of tower's current share price? It seems to me that they are a large, stable, insurance company with minimal debt that ought to be trading well upwards of $2/share. I can't see why their price has dropped so drastically over the last few months. There's been no real changes or affects to their business that I can see. So what would have driven this dive in their price? Ripe for picking? Your thought?

    Cheers,
    Noso

    nosolution ..... where does most of Towers earnings come from?

    Answer that question and than you can understand why TWR (and others) shareprice is being 'beaten to hell'

    Have a look back to what happened to the likes of TWR when the sharemarkets collapsed post 9/11 ... get the picture.

    Tower say they have learned from past experiences and their investments are safer now .... but you never know

    Volume is up quite a bit since the 9th. Looks like there are a number of people who think it might be the bottom... It'll be interesting to see what happens over the next few days.

    So I'd just like to point out that tower went up 7.5% today.... I should have trusted my instincts. Haha, na 'cause if I had purchased, I'm sure it would have gone down. And we don't want to trade on instincts; we want to trade on sound decisions based on quality analysis, whether that be technical or fundamental.

    Grrr ... Somebody needs to sort out their technologies !!!
    Just the NZX pushing their own barrow. Instead of a phone call to TWR telling them to present the results in a form that can be published directly instead of an attachment, they leave it as only accessable through their web site, for which you must register.
    Typical NZX arrogance.
