Mainfreight Ltd: Top returns for the last 10 years



An interesting graph from today's Mainfreight Ltd [MFT.NZX] annual meeting that I will one day attend when I am not working and I believe was held at a flash South Auckland Winery.

The text of the meeting is essential reading for Mainfreight co owners like myself and investors who have not plunked down their shekels for a piece of this company will get some insight into how the company has done over the last year and where they will be going over the next 12 months and more.

Interestingly the meeting has highlighted the performance of MFT as an investment and over the last 10 years to 31 March 2011 the company has come out on top with a near 30% annual return.

Out of the 9 companies on the graph I hold 5, so I am pretty chuffed, especially the placement of Ryman Healthcare Ltd [RYM.NZX] at number 3.

I am betting MFT and RYM will be near the top over the next 10 years.

2011 NBR Rich List

The 25th annual 2011 NBR Rich List (see detail at NBR )was out this morning and revealed the usual bunch of multimillionaires with a few additions to last year and some notable omissions from the 2010 list.

Graham Hart topped the list with a $6 billion plus fortune and there was an inclusion for the second time by Rod Drury, CEO of Xero Ltd [XRO,NZ] whose wealth has increased to 72 million from last year.

The usual entry of old money from the likes of the Myers, Todds, Fay, Richwhites and Spencers also continue to eek out places in the top ten.

Priminister John Key was ranked near the bottom with $55 million in wealth.

Once again I am not on the list this year but will keep trying.
