Why not?    The re-emergence of the finance division looks good for 
future profitability.  That is not reflected in the WRI share price.    And 
the base yield of 9% is still good.

Be careful.   Current yield on PGG represents 18months of earnings, 
not 12.

A bit of a niche player, aren't they?  How much competitive pressure 
can they stand really?

A company I have never studied in detail.  I have always thought well 
of them though.

That's precisely why I invested in Air New Zealand.     I think THL 
suffers from the same malaise.

Diving from $1.45 to $1.40 is a deep sea diving act?

Why?  If you thought it was good buying at $1.45, how is it now poor 
buying at $1.40?

If you want to sell for fair value, I guess so.

If Norgate does a wobbly and throws his blocks out of the cot that's not 
the end of the game Karyn.  It's just the beginning....
