SPK- Spark NZ (TELCO)

[craic]

This years div. is earmarked for a couple of weeks in Adelaide and a cruise up the Murray River next year. Great being old - you can spend your money. And when it's gone, just stay in bed or go fishing for a couple of days, and, Presto! it's back. Should have worked out this equation years ago.

Do you guys reinvest dividends for take the cash. I reinvest.

Can someone please explain the huge amount of large quantity off-market trades happening everyday?

Probably overseas investors wanting to get in in time for what to them is a huge gross yield percentage :-)

I ought to add that Spk/Tel has always been used as a substitute for NZ Inc by overseas players, some looking for an alternative to the NZ dollar which is the tenth most traded international currency. So they are having daylight while we are having night. They can make off NZX trades in Spk until the daylight switches.

Trouble with the malware in email clients of Spark could present a buying opportunity tomorrow perhaps....or it could be a permanent fall back in sp.

Not what a newly rebranded company wants to engender confidence in its IT platforms ??

I should keep a diary ..... I recall several NZ telecoms have had technical troubles incl Vodafone, some of them lasting DAYS!

I had a little trouble yesterday morning but I persevered and was able to use the Internet quite a lot most of the day. I'm sure the Spark engineers are investigating intensively and that the noose is closing around the troublemakers.

I'm sure the share price won't dip much if at all,afterall,have you ever had a refund because your isp had a fault and you couldn't log onto the net?

Hardly an issue I would have thought, can't see much damage to share price.

Damage = Buying Opportunity = Very Good

I hope your'e right. I have 85gs to spend on spk before the div so a good drop would helpful but I can't see it happening. There is more to this one than a few disgruntled customers.

No help for you today.

Anyway, back to Lightbox which I pay $7.50 per month as a Spark customer. Good time to be a shareholder and consumer of Spark.

I'm enjoying this. How high will it go?
