In hindsight I had great foresight..................up 10% in a week.[well positioned]

hey percy, if we're looking at short term moves, what if you'd swapped it out into FXL.ASX last week?
OCA only down a cent on last week- that'll be more than made up in next dividend in about 2 months

For an investor like me, Aussie shares offer no imputation credits.Just gross dividends .Flexi is very Flexi.In the past two years the share price has DECREASED from $2.00 to $1.67,while SKL's has INCREASED from $1.39 to $2.39.
FXL's dividend is the same as OCA's.Just a gross dividend .FXL 7.7 cps and OCA 4.7 cps.
SKL's dividend is 12.5 cps 50% imputated.Higher yield too.

Looking at the trading pattern later today I'd say someone is still buying for index purposes, aside from that the price would have closed at $1.04-$1.05. PS-If anyone wonders where the SP is heading over the next while have a rewatch of that old goodie movie Groundhog day.

Its called multitasking, some of us are quite apt at it.

You sound like a trader with this one Percy. A few cents here a few cents there, possibly a good switch but your attention to the daily prices, the instant responses to any commentary here or on any thread that you own shares, and focus on the very short term price action belies a long term investors perspective. Did you make a bad call buying OCA and just quit for a better option, and was your net result positive on OCA taking into account SP movement, dividends and trading fees?

Here's a T-shirt saying I saw that you might like, "there's two types of people in the world, those that can extrapolate from insufficient information"

Hardly a trader.More a long term investor.
The outlook for OCA for the next few years ,while the property market remains underpressure, means retirement village operators face headwinds.ie slower sales and lower margins.

At the same time the low NZ interest rates will put pressure on the NZ $.With most of their sales being offshore SKL will benefit from this.and their business is gaining momentum .

There are two types of traders on here being the frequent and the infrequent. Lol

Yes, or the impetuous and the patient. Lol.

Been quite a week so far and only halfway through. Lots of NZX shares pretty much shrugged off the 550 point drop in the DOW, some even made some gains, maybe on the back of RBNZ dropping OCR again.

Interesting times.
