OCA - Oceania Group - retirement villages

[Baa_Baa]

i wouldnt want to own a retirement stock at the moment , if the virus got into one and infected everyone then no ones going to want to buy one going forward.

Good grief, are you short OCA? Imagine this, imagine that .. no thanks - the world isn't ending and you should get some good trades buying back in when things settle, which they will, but it's not necessary to spew cr@p messages like this BS.

Looking at the other side of that, the retirement villages would be able to capitalise on many previously occupied apartments etc. that were bought much more cheaply and can now be sold at a profit. It might also reduce the amount spent on care.
While we are being cheerful, we might also reflect that the 1918 Flu virus took out the young healthy (shareholders ) not the elderly.

correct about the re -sales be good for them , 1918 we really hope it dont mutate to that senario

lol seriously people in virus times will avoid anywhere where a large group of people are so not to increase there risk of infection. therefore some people die in a retirement village and everyone start thinking. probably unlikely senario just like the govt belief in it never happen here in nz

Sorry but can't agree with that.
Retirement villages are one of the safest & least likely places to worry about.
Unlike most organisations & businesses, Retirement villages/homes already have extremely strong protocols & staff training around avoiding cross infections both from visitors and residents & to be fair there's probably not a lot of international visitors coming and going.

On the other hand, several organisations I know of have just had staff returning from mainland China last week & they are much more likely to be impacted, however, tbh none seem too worried.

With more & more reasons for people wanting to retire to NZ
retirement villages = sound long term defensive stock

As usual Macquarie have impeccable timing with their selling. OCA despite all the hype of new developments might struggle to even match 2019's underlying profit.

What other pies does Macquarie have his fingers in. Think we have all learnt a lesson.

Don’t be too harsh on Macquarie diownz

After all they did hand out $200m worth of shares at 79 cents in May 17

Two and half years later those shares are worth over $300m

That’s 53% return in those two years

That's a great return, and if you add the dividends in even better, it's more like 63% gain over 2.5 years, (despite Earl not being ruthless enough )

Why would anyone be disappointed with that !
