The Share Investor Portfolio: Where it is today

Time to check in and see if I have refashioned, refocused, retooled or just left things the way they are with the Share Investor Portfolio.

Well, I have just revised the portfolio by adding one thing, and that is MOA.NZ. With that I have bought just 1000 at 55c. Of course they are now down to 41c, any minute now they are going to do a Lazarus like recovery and head on way past $1. That is the theory, we will soon see the practice.

I have noticed that MFT.NZ has really packed on the pounds recently putting on 45c to finish closing at $14.85. A real little rocker that finished on a high on Friday and looks set to continue. I wouldn't sell it at any price, look to see this share setting new records over the years. Management don't set well with dividing up share prices for the hell of it so looks like its headed up to Xero territory, and to stay there.

Another share doing well has been FPH.NZ , at around $4.68 it looks like it will double in value over the coming 5 years as its revenue tops 1 Billion - could be a race between Fishers and Mainfreight to see who reaches silly heights, love the market.

SKC.NZ isn't doing well at the moment, I thinks its started this year about where it is now - but be warned when news comes out about the new gaming features the company is going to bring to the market and how well they do - the share is going to take off. It owes me very little.

RYM.NZ is another great , fantastic, splendid share. Cant really say much more about this, growing BIG.

AIA.NZ has taken a wee turn for the worse but owes me very little, while CEN.NZ has returned about 30% but has yet to take off - National winning the election will take care of that.

And the WHS.NZ is doing what it always does, lurching along from one profit warning to another.

One truly good company, HLG.NZ is down about 25% bought 10000 last year for $4.42 is struggling and even though it has recently came out with all looks well, seems to be marking time to the actual profit announcement in September.

Well, thats it really, remember, think and do your OWN research before plucking down the dollars. It is only money but its your money!

Moa Beer IPO: A Closer Look

I have to admit, I haven't drunk it but Ive heard so much about it I just have to try a drop - if my wife will let me - Moa Beer Ltd [MOA.NZX] 

If you can get past the hilarity of the first half of the prospectus - it has an advert for a car in it? - you can get down to the meat and potatoes - the facts and figures.

Moa Group's chief executive, Geoff Ross, yesterday announced the IPO was going ahead on November 13, but had already been over-subscribed by four institutional groups and retail "mum and dad" investors, so expect the deal to be done and dusted already.

The $6.1m brewery extension project is a vital step to take the company's Blenheim-based brewing and bottling capacity from 14,000 to 50,000 cases a month in under a year, which shouldn't be too hard considering the popularity of the drop.

They will offer 38.4 per cent of the company to the public at the price of $1.25, with another 3.6 per cent already having been allocated to existing shareholders who include Ross' Business Bakery, Pioneer Capital, Allan Scott Wines and company executives.

I never really understood the value of such company's it does not seem to bare any relationship to the profit or sales.

Moa sold almost 50,000 cases, mainly across New Zealand, Australia and the United States, in the 2012 financial year and has shifted 35,000 cases in the first six months of the 2013 financial year, so all looks to be on track for a good 2013.

In their healthy looking prospectus - it has a picture of a naked woman in one - the company expects to sell 97,496 cases in the full 2013 year, rising to 195,100 in 2014. However it will still not be running at a profit in that time frame.

The new brewery has been meticulously planned by Scott and his head brewer, Dave Nicholls, who worked at Heineken, alongside Ross and a board committee.

He is not taking the sharemarket float lightly - it was his aim since before he met brand-builder Ross over 2 years ago.

"It's great to see it grow because there was no way I could ever grow a company like this, this quickly," he said from Blenheim.

Scott's "executive brewer" role has been to develop the brand's presence and distribution overseas, under the guidance of Ross who sold his vodka brand 42 Below to Bacardi for $138m in 2006 and we all know well he is noted for that.

The prospectus puts revenues at $2.4m for the 2012 year to March 31, with negative earnings before interest, depreciation and amortisation at minus $2.8m.

The company made a net loss of $2.8m. The company forecast revenues of $4.3m for the year to the end of March 2013 - leading to a $3.5m overall loss.

Its all immaterial anyway, set your gun to off and target someone else this ones for fun, and it just might well do it.

I will be having a word to my broker about setting some aside - a 1000.
