Bit late to the party.
Us early birds who spotted the durable competitive strengths of Heartland, and brought in years ago,at sensible purchase prices,can only feel sorry Warren missed the opportunity..
You should have told him W69.
HBL have a history of dropping very low when DRP is being assessed. At 1.82 or thereabout its a buy.
Correct you are. Historically this has fallen, coming towards the DRP, perhaps to do with 2.5% discount. It actually helps people like me who are accumulating. We might see a fall back in price to the 1.50-1.60.
While the chart is a bit scary at the moment, I intend to hold. In terms of 10+ years investment timeline for me nothing announced has indicated that this short term weakness won't pass. As someone 100% subscribed to DRP the scenario just gets better.
