SPK- Spark NZ (TELCO)

[Bobdn]

Good to see the market taking such a dim view of Spark getting the Rugby World Cup broadcast rights and I say this as a shareholder. And when i say "market" I mean the owners of the company. How much of our money was shredded on Tivo? Then there was Lightbox - I recall at least $60m was spent on that a couple of years back, how much more? And now its a giveaway!

Do we know how much was spent on the RWC rights? I like to think of it as cents per share.

Just a Low volume down day,was $3.46 after the RWC announcement, we won't know how much was spent on the RWC rights until next year, probably too much I'd say.

SPK has gone from over $3.90 down to below $3.35 over the last 8 months.
This has been the longest period of decline over the last 5 years.
Must be time for recovery?
Well hopping it will as I just bought in at $3.42 on Friday.

So follow Buffet,s advice and Buy when others are fearful.

These ‘tribes’ are expensive to run but supposedly delivering the goods

Bit of a hit this year but no worries

Buyers like the idea going by today's market, expecting SPK to be on sale come May31st, their slice of the MSCI index pie has to decrease once A2 enters.

Hmm, strange the price is going up on volume prior to Thursday's rebalance, must be non index tracking funds buying.

gettin very cosy with the GCSB
certainly one could expect no privacy, though the defence may be enhanced.

vodafone were on an earlier trial with the GCSB , so at least they are agnostic.
