    Baa fair enough, solar is very long term.
    Speculators for yield may buy at $1.90 but investors have recycled their investment into more reasonably priced companies. The yield is misleading as it is free cashflow not profit so is not attractive for a no growth investment like MEL.

    The performance of MELCA as we reach the point where holders must pay up another 50 cents is interesting. Usually the price of the head shares {melca in this case} drop and then become volatile as investors sell to raise funds for the next instalment. Not in this case, which suggests that the market is happy to pay up and hold the shares.

    mainly because the selldown has already happened, down from above $2.10 to where we are now, tells me Mr. Market needed funds to pay the $0.50

    I'm not sure how yield can be misleading, yield is simply a mathematical calculation. The lower the share price, the more attractive the yield becomes, particularly for a company with free cashflow that accumulates in a low/no growth investment, which is paid out as dividends to shareholders. The yield may never be better than it is/was for IPO buyers, but there will be plenty of kiwi investors interested in the yield opportunity as MEL's share price declines to a mathematical attraction. Not everyone here is fixated with company growth, if they are they probably wouldn't be looking at the energy sector. These energy company's just make a lot of money over and above that which is required to run the company and pay out a handsome percentage to investors. Is that the definition of a yield play?

    Portraying the IPO's as 'needy' for cash is just one perspective. Another viewpoint may be that it was prudent to sell a very small percentage of shares which had reached speculative prices, in order to fund the instalment which will keep the investor in the yield game for the long run. JMHO.

    My point is that a yield paid out of profit is not the same as a yield paid out of free cash flow.
    A hypothetical company could make more profit than MEL but have a lower yield and an improving balance sheet, shareholders shouldn't penalise it for that.
    If the market just considers yield they are being too hasty.
    Yield play argument, this comes down to the next punter will pay more for it than I did. Maybe so but I am out for the count - not my game.

    Interestingly enough MELCA shares have gone up 61.02% during the past year while TPI have dropped 29.52%.
