    If OCA share price had followed the sector down today it prob would be about 95 now

    So 102 is pretty good …. 8% up in ‘real terms’

    Market excited about this acquisition ….and what it signals

Arvida did the same thing recently in by buying the Arena villages. It got people excited (including me) initially, but the SP has continued to decline because of the same issues that OCA are facing. There are safer places, with better yields, to park your funds.
    nice to have a rational view of the situation

    Problem with your comment is that the market isn't rational, its Schitzophrenic.

    I call B.S. on that. The whole market is weak today. Really good announcement in a really weak market.

    Maverick and Ferg are probably conferring privately, redoing all their spreadsheets and a few days from now will have worked out its now worth at least $1.70

    You guys think OCA is doing badly. Auckland Airport, phew, I should be looking for a tall building. Mind you, perfect storm, new covid variant, higher interest rates offered in bonds and banks, war in Europe, fear of recession.

    This is not related to OCA. Take the dribble elsewhere.
