Business people being so clever you would think they would come up with something different and a find a new buzz word for being 'well positioned'.
Well positioned is past its use by date and is hearing it so often is getting rather tiresome
interestingly this is from The Economist ( economist.com ) in their dictionary of business terms....
and before I get accused of going off topic - geez - heartland are up to $1.33
Euphemisms
Avoid, where possible, euphemisms and circumlocutions, especially those promoted by interest-groups keen to please their clients or organisations anxious to avoid embarrassment. This does not mean that good writers should be insensitive of giving offence: on the contrary, if you are to be persuasive, you would do well to be courteous. But a good writer owes something to plain speech, the English language and the truth, as well as to manners. Political correctness can go.
So, in most contexts, offending behaviour is probably criminal behaviour. Female teenagers are girls, not women. Living with mobility impairment probably means wheelchair-bound. Developing countries are often stagnating or even regressing (try poor) countries. The underprivileged may be disadvantaged, but are more likely just poor (the very concept of underprivilege is absurd, since it implies that some people receive less than their fair share of something that is by definition an advantage or prerogative).
Enron's document-management policy simply meant shredding. The Pentagon's practice of enhanced interrogation is torture, just as its practice of extraordinary rendition is probably torture contracted out to foreigners. France's proposed solidarity contribution on airline tickets is a tax. The IMF's relational capitalism is nepotism or corruption. The British solicitor-general's evidential deficiency was no evidence, and George Bush's reputational problem just means he is mistrusted.
It is sometimes useful to talk of human-rights abuses but often the sentence can be rephrased more pithily and accurately. The army is accused of committing numerous human-rights abuses probably means The army is accused of torture and murder. Decommissioning weapons means disarming. A high-net-worth individual is a rich man or rich woman. Zero-per-cent financing means an interest-free loan.

I also take from the article "new car" dealers are having to carry larger stocks of cars.
This will put pressure on their banking arrangments,and will most probably mean they will look to sell their MTF shares,which will improve their chances of more funding from their bank.ie cash for their MTF shares and free themselves of the recourse loan liabilities they have with MTF..
That could be great for HNZ if it pans out,yes. More comp in the motor finance sector not so good , Nissan being one mkt share grower.
Motor vehicle lenders were also facing increased competition, with a number of new players entering the market and seeking to gain share with attractive deals.On the positive side the report said participants in the motor vehicle financing sector continued to show good improvements in impairment asset expenses.
It outlined that after just over two years of operating, Nissan Financial Services has gained a 1.19 per cent share of New Zealand's non-banking lending market.

I would think that if Heartland came out and said they were repurposing tomorrow most would agree they are well positioned to do successfully achieve that.
OMG what have I said - well positioned has become an addiction - any way HNZ share price now $1.32

Crackity - according to one language expert "well positioned" really means (hopeful, but a bit scared)
So everytime Jeff says "well positioned" tomorrow he really is hoping like hell that things will done out OK

Heartland FY results preso had this statement - Heartland is well positioned to support its dairy customers in the forthcoming year
If "well positioned" does mean "hopeful, but a bit scared" it really means they are scared off these rural loansand they are hoping for a reasonable outcome.
Never really thought about what "well positioned" really meant in this funny world of buzz words etc but that language expert's definition seems to make perfect sense.

definitely time for a Winnie the Pooh quote -
When you are a Bear of Very Little Brain, and you Think of Things, you find sometimes that a Thing which seemed very Thingish inside you is quite different when it gets out into the open and has other people looking at it.
Now where on earth did that friendly tiger chappie get to?
and see HNZ finished at $1.33 - not much happening there today
