    Looking at the photo of the guy whose leftand thinking about the other pre-requisites percy is very well qualified to be a Heartland Director -

    • White European
    • Over 65
    • Knows about things like NIM
    • Appreciates the importance of a digital age - even though technically challenged but board members think and don’t do eh.
    • Has an empathy with the Elderly being the target customer for HERs
    • Is in love with the company
    • Thinks the world of his fellow directors (no disruption on this board)
    • Lots of skin the game
    • Etc
    • Etc



    Only issue being as the company spokesman they might find it hard to class him as a truly independent director

    Reserve Bank’s Orr keeps on about his tree god nonsense, urging us to think of the Bank as akin to Tane Mahuta, the mythological forest god. He even is getting the Bank to do a special study on the Maori economy and even going to appoint a Cultural Capability Advisor Maori.

    Greenslade talks a lot about the importance of Maori and the portions in the Annual and Interim Reports in Maori are always a good read

    Are Adrian and our Jeff in cohoots hatching a grand plan.

    I hope in the annual report in due course they also present the Chairman's and CEO's report in Arabic to make our Muslim friends feel included. That would be a nice touch.
    Nice capital raise with the DRIP just on $5.7m. Those canny investor partaking must be thinking (assuming 9.5 cps in annual divvies next year) I canny imagine how else I am going to get a 9% gross dividend from a bank and very pleased I'm investing on the right side of the investment ledger.

    In the rush to get safe yield I think this is one puppy that's been overlooked.

    The $75m note offer just announced will pay not less than 3.5% interest. Just proves it's better to own the bank than to lend it money.

    Got my DRP letter in the weekend which was a nice reminder I had picked up a pile of shares at $1.47. I'm looking forward to an SP higher than that and so far it looks good.
