The resident doomsday prophet speaketh.

To put it politely, I'm not keen on the practise of shorting, especially in conjunction with downramping. Charts have their uses obviously but the future is unknown and can take any number of twists and turns, meantime SPK will continue to be an essential part of NZ infrastructure, paying divvies to your mum and dad investors, to help them live more comfortably.

future is unknown for sure but spark for the for seeable future seems set to keep cutting costs , waste money on light box and pay for movies ( which is hardly a big money earner when most young people watch them free ) when they have no hope in hell of bettering netflix offering dont seem willing to bet big on a future path by way of aquisitions ( not surprising as amazon , google etc seem to have most angles covered ) other telcos are in similar vein , dividends will be reduced some day just like telstra its inevitable unless something changes

Hey bull, how's that SPK short going? You reckon it was going to $2.75, currently $3.52, feeling the burn yet mate.

whats the news? chairman got some shares today? i know must be lightbox has season 7 suits on but netflix only has up to season 6 , spark has the competitive advantage at the moment for sure.

Well that was a bullish day and finish for SPK, and that ain't no bull.

Does anybody understand Agile in the remotest and can explain it to the rest of us?

AGILE is a software development methodology. So its a way of organising IT projects.

As its name suggest it is " rooted in adaptive planning, early delivery and continuous improvement, all with an eye toward being able to respond to change quickly and easily."

That may or may not help you but the main point is that it works on principles of being collaborative, flexible and adaptive.
IT projects used to take years and then explode into either failure or success. Now they try to evaluate them a lot more frequently - teams will regularly show off their work and gather feedback so that they can adapt.

Non techies dont need to understand much more than this I reckon.
