As a newby I confess I don't understand what they are doing here and the pricing.  Same for FLP.  Why the premium at that level and why small parcels?  Also doesn't the A and B share split limit the effective ability of a foreign owner.

 

I appreciate landing rights are getting scarce at the major airports worldwide but how will a B share majority help another airline?

 

Also is FLP still worth looking at or has the horse bolted?

 

Thanks for your views

 

Regards

 

Jane

One that immediately springs to mind is AIRVB - down a whopping 40 cents today to close at $2.25

 

Singapore Airlines just paid $3.00 a share - and reports in yesterday's Sunday Star Times indicates that Qantas could still be in play.

 

I'd say it's a bargain.  Comments?

Hear hear Osbert,

 

So who has some good buys in mind.  I for one am interested in people's picks of undervalued bargains in companies with good fundementals.  What do those with greater expertise among us think?

 

Regards

When market goes up, many are buying shares at whatever the cost - driven by greed...

 

When market goes down, many are selling shares at whatever the loss - driven by fear...

 

Between the greed and fear, there are those who look beyond the irrationality of the market and control their emotions - thus a wise investment decisions are made...

 

Good luck and happy investing!

 

Kind regards,

Osbert Sun
