    Can it go lower? Sure - it always can - but then it is just one of these dog of the NZX shares in my portfolio (next to FBU and STU - and as we know from the "dog of the .... - theory" - in average they will win ... until they are no dogs anymore;
    interesting chart that Peter does it mean that the market hasn't rewarded FBU for being operationally / financially much better or that the market has yet to penalise MPG for being so useless ..... maybe a bit of both

    They way the numbers go for all three its like the houses get built without windows. Maybe the windows will get added next year or the year after?

    Still see the Metro Glass truck EVERY day bringing glass into town on my way to work (well except when I'm late or WFH).

    Seem like they are as busy as too.

    Just not busy making much money....

    I see director Angela Bull has resigned,and a recruitment for a replacement director has begun.
    Perhaps a quick phone call to Peter Wells is called for.His phone number is on his latest substantial shareholder announcement.

    OK new director Jenn Bestwick has good governance experience,however does not get my juices following and wanting to buy any shares.
    Had Peter Wells joined the board I would have bought some MPG shares,as I think MPG really could benefit with his business acumen.
    A missed "window of opportunity".
