SPK- Spark NZ (TELCO)

[Muppett]

Thanks Bull. I must study more how all that works.
NZ has a complicated tax system.
Anyway, maybe we should just sell SPK now and buy TLS

A calculation?

Spark trying to take over from Sky
Have now picked up F1 - https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/...ectid=12148307
Plus F2, GP# and Porsche Super cup - for the next 3 years
Think I read that Sky paid about $6M for 4 years back in 2014.

Have yet to announce how much and how, but looks like it will be a separate platform/app or something like Lightbox Sport (copyright to me for the name - as long as I can get it on the TV, Also thought to have a deal with TVNZ as a back up

I'm watching this with fascination - I am very surprised that it is still trading in the 3.80 - 3.90 range.

Wonder if this might be the end of the 3.30 low to the SP range and a new range is being established?

What range do you expect it to trade in?

[oldtech]

Over the past couple of years I've become used to seeing it trade between 3.30 and 4.00, but never staying at 4.00 for a sustained period.

Hasn't the Spark share price held up well over the last month? I'm so proud of it. "Good Spark!" *puts extra treats in bowl*

I am also pleased with Spark. Over the last 12 months I have been buying on the lows & selling on the highs (the only share I will do this with) My returns for 12 months including dividends has been 29.65%

Nice one thestg. Yes, I think SPK is a good trading share also - although I've never been in a position to try it for various reasons. Tempted now though!

Before or after TAX.?

Yeah, well done Stg, that's a great return. I bought back into it at $3.61 earlier this year and just hold. Still happy especially with the dividends.
