When Labour Gets In

The question is what do investors do in the face of impending doom when the Labour Party stumbles across the line to win the 2017 election. 

Well they've started it already.

They have stopped buying Auckland International Airport Ltd [AIA.NZX] its moving backwards with a DIV coming,

Auckland Airport growth is bound to stall under a Labour Govt.

Labour's stated aim is to at least halve immigration and I think it will go completely the other way within 2 years - people will not want to stay.

The other thing Labour is going to introduce, a $25 dollar new tax for travelers to this country is going to have a major impact on tourists.

This will clearly impact further on Auckland Airport, it clearly has already.

Uncertainty certainly plays a part in it, there's no doubt about that but reality plays a big part as well and Labour's focus of their extra spending is on the unproductive parts of the economy. That has been the way of the Labour Govt's from year one.

But you don't get economic growth from putting taxpayer money into things like "higher wages for everyone" it is simply a blight on the taxpayer and business as a whole.

You've got to be focused on what you as an individual can bring to the table rather than Labour's view that whats on the table is mine and that extending the table through extra taxes and more Govt borrowing is the way to go.

Its not.

You've got to wonder about those companies that have got a high component of transport costs, Like Freightways and Fletcher Building. 

These companies have come off recent highs and they are nervous about what will happen when Labour gets into power.

Every company on the NZX  is effected by the probable change of Govt.

I'm not worried about my investments. I will take the time to look at each company in the Share Investor Portfolio and buy more when they get cheap enough.

That's the thing with long-term investing in shares and changes in Govt. You make your serious money in times of gloom and (like we will be heading to under a Labour Govt) and make even more in times of boom (like we are just coming off now - under National).

Either way I'm not disturbed.

Fisher & Paykel Healthcare: Where is it Going?

Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Ltd [FPH.NZX] is starting to look a wee bit expensive. 

Granted it does have the potential to be the largest stock on the index if it keeps going - its about 3 or 4th at present - but it will be headed for a breakdown if it disappoints this November.

Like I said in a previous post the market seems to have largely discounted legal problems so the reason for the recent share price increase seems to be put down to one or two major reasons.

The first is institutional buying. There appeared to be a sizable chunk transacted last Fri Sept 1. Almost 1 million shares. Again a sizable chunk of well over 2m shares traded in June by Northcape Capital to take their stake in FPH to 5.1%.

The second is insiders - management, directors etc - taking up stakes or taking up options or indeed disposing of same.

There is a lot of activity surrounding share trades.

There appears that a 5% rise over the last 7 days is something this share hasn't seen especially given the record high share price.

It seems the momentum is towards the upside at least for the time being - see the explanation for this in paragraph 2.

I truly don't know where we are heading with this stock, it is way too pricey and I wouldn't be buying at current prices.

All I  can think is that insiders are getting together to get in a good position that a possible buy could be on the cards.

They would have to offer me north of 50 bucks a share to get rid of this one right now and it would get more expensive as time wore on.

I don't really want to sell.

Sky City Entertainment: Starting to Look Cheap

Sky City Entertainment Group Ltd [SKC.NZX]is starting to look cheap again.

You don't have to be Einstein to figure out that there's at least 20% in it.

It recently reported a 2017 full year profit.

Combine this with a probable big pay off in 2019/2020 when all their various developments come on-stream and you have a possibility of making more than that if you hold until then.

Until then you get all sorts of nervous Nellie's getting in and out of this company, when they actually go down and visit - like the rest of Auckland it is a construction zone.

There is crap everywhere.

And like the rest of Auckland it is a mere blip in the road until the building is finished.

Until that time there is going to be disruption - not in the new sense of this word but the old meaning of disruption.

Disruption is only going to be temporary.

Then we can truly see the magnificence of Auckland growing and the casino in Auckland growing as well.

It has been 20 years since the casino opened and more than half a million more Aucklanders living here.

The future looks bright.

Possibly you can buy this company cheaper than it is today but anytime between now and Feb 2018 is a good time to buy.

I can see some of those nervous Nellie's starting to struggle.

Give them a hand, offer them $3.50!!

Auckland Airport: Look Before You Leap

Auckland International Airport Ltd [AIA.NZX] has a dividend coming of 10.5c fully imputed at the company tax rate of 28% and due to those on the register at close of biz on the 6th October 2017.

Can you get this dividend and protect your capital base at the same time.

No, is the answer but you stand an almost unique chance of getting the Div plus capital gains anyway.

That has been my experience over the years of trading this baby in and out of lulls, bulls, bears any any other term you care to mention.

I currently own 2000 shares based on just this and have done for 3 reporting periods.

So if your game and really want to have a go get in now. At sub 7 bucks this one has 7 plus bucks written all over it before the Oct 6 cut off.

Weather you sell into the share price increase or stay around and collect the Div you cant lose either way.

I, if I had money, I would buy today.
