SPK- Spark NZ (TELCO)

[macduffy]

On the other hand Unemployment goes up NZ dollar goes down and Spark improves.
Inflation improves (it can't at the mo because it's zero) NZ dollar goes down and Spark improves.

So, it provides a natural hedge against adverse trends in the NZ economy - without the hassle of investing overseas.

Sounds like your very confident MVT, willing to take a nice wager that you will be able to buy these shares 10c or more cheaper than today's peak sometime between now and say end of August simply due to the big boys doing what they do. Are you that confident?

We're into August now... will this wager have come off? 1 June peak was $3.855

Someone has got me wrong, I haven't bought or sold Spark for a couple of years. I just hold for the high dividends it pays and watch the irrational gyrations of the overseas dominated shareprice with cynical amusement. At the moment I'm just waiting Spark's next announcement which can only be a matter of weeks away. I do have some other shares, one which was bought as a capital appreciation play now shows every sign of turning into a cash dividend cow :-)

Expecting a steady as she goes, low growth result with current dividend maintained. I see Telstra have reduced their dividend payout ratio and 2018 dividend guidance.
