Share Price Alert: New Zealand Refining Ltd 4 (UPDATE)

New Zealand Refining Ltd [NZR.NZX] we last looked at this stock back on July 5 2011, since then it has been higher than its current price of $2.47 certainly higher than its recent low of just about $1 and a half coming up around 16 months ago but this gem is set to rocket when things fall into place.

Get this if your going to buy it Monday, you will get it for just shy of its net tangibles which are, according to ASB Securities $250.01 per share.

There are so many variables as to when to buy this share; the price of oil, the US/NZ dollar cross, the refining margin, what the company is spending at present on capital expenditure and what the company pays you in divs.

You cant get it for less than its asset backing though, but in this case you can.

I myself am going to put a few shekels down on Monday, its the only share on the NZX I think is worth buying.


*currently my buy is in at $2.45, I won't go higher . Its up 8c on low volume.

New Zealand's House Price Crash: It Will Happen

I'm going to do something I don't usually do here.

I'm going to give you some advice that you should take.

If you are thinking of buying a house any time soon for reasons to put your family in a cosy little place for a long time - think again.

If you are an investor or speculator, ill talk to you latter.

Why?

Just look around everyone is talking about it and writing about it, Fran O'Sullivan is practically chomping at the bit this week with at least 3 pieces of writing out about the "housing crises".

On Friday Stuff followed a house for a day - and kind of had a ode to the house, they had John Key on the grill answering live questions in a special q and a thingy - and by the end of the day when it was sold we found out it "made" something like 350 bucks in a day.

Last weekend the Herald papers were filled with stories of this quirky little place - just shy of 75sqm - was passed in at $950,000 but latter on in the day were were given an update and guess what it sold - it was probably well over $1,000,000 and the other extreme the "Chrisco House" in Albany, where I am, probably went for well over $40 million.

In amongst that a "house" in Papakura was selling for half a million - this was a box not much bigger than my 40sqm place.

Stories like these.

Politicians are talking (that's ALL they do instead of staying out of our way) about it - almost all of them opposition.

In fact the leader of Labour Andrew Little is going to announce something "momentous" on Sunday to coincide with their 100th anniversary - something to do with housing and tax but you can bet that it will involve your money and that it wont "work".

Building State houses was something that Labour did in the 1930's 1950's 1970's it didn't work then and it won't now.

The Key Govt are being pressured to do something but their hands are really tied because of the oppositions resistance to the removal of size restrictions of Auckland - they are opposed against letting it grow hence the rocketing prices.

If you are an investor your probably sane or savvy enough to be avoiding the market at the moment.

You'll come back to the market when prices ease.

If you are indeed a specman that's a different story. All credit to you your trading an asset to make a quick buck, i'm with you there, on the other hand if you lose money i couldn't give a flying fuck.

And both you and me, well you reading this because i'm not going to get into the market, yet, are kind of stuck in this non stop world of turn on the TV, screen, whatever, see what the latest story on such and such a house and get caught up in the idea that something i bought for $1 or $1 million - a house - is going to keep increasing in price.

It just simply isn't.

He or she will simply say no, eventually.

Prices will crash, it is going to happen.

Its just a matter of when.

Whether its a new political party being elected, like  The Greens/Labour and you get the current immigrants inbound to go outbound or the Reserve Bank does something your going to get a reversal of the current "problem".

The point is are you ready for all this, because no matter what talking head or "expert" on property - or that vacuous woman on the Paul Henry Show, Nikki Connors will tell you.

Its your money and you deserve to have it spent wisely, now is not the time to be doing it.

Buy when things are cheaper, they will come down in price, its happened before in history and those who don't learn from their history are doomed to repeat it.

The Clintons: Mark 2

What really had me thinking lately was Monica Lewinsky's ex Billy Clinton and the fact that he may be in charge of the world's largest economy for the second time in almost 30 years should they - the Clintons - win in November - Hillary told us that in March this year;

"Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton says her husband would be “in charge of revitalizing the economy” if she is elected president, The Hill reports.

Speaking at a campaign stop in Fort Mitchell, Kentucky, Clinton said her husband, former President Bill Clinton, “knows how to do it … especially in places like coal country and inner cities and other parts of our country that have really been left out.”

Well this brought me back to yet again, in my opinion that, Bill Clinton is the reason why we are floating around in this "financial scary no man's land" today.

I have been aware of this opinion - since around the late 1990s - since before I wrote this piece in a book review I did in 2008;

"The chapter that held the most interest for me is Chapter 27, "The Age of Innocence". In it Cashill describes the genesis of the present day financial collapse and President Bill Clinton's central hand in it - something I was already aware of and have been for years.

Clinton forced banks and then Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to lend money to individuals (Americas race based form of lending was extended even further than it was in the 1970s) who were poor credit risks to buy houses in the 1990s and Alan Greenspan (another evil Jew?) provided the cheap interest rates through the Federal Reserve that led to the frenzy of house buying that then led to the bubble and you know the rest.

You don't read a lot about the Democrats, Bill Clinton and their historical central role in the 2008 financial collapse but Cashill gives you the facts and lets the reader join the dots".

What are the Clintons going to do this January when they take the reigns of power for the 2nd time? - I don't think Donald Trump is going to gain power, much to this author's chagrin -  I think they are going to finish what they started.

Well, put it this way continue along the same lines.

Like all socialist leaders in power, the Clintons became even richer than they were already because of the presidency and the 2nd time around they will become even richer.

They are not doing it for yours and mine good they are doing it for their own good. 

The answer to my questioning above, is a severe depression, at some stage, the likes this world has never seen before.

Think before you vote.
