Re: [sharechat] Wringing Telecom

thanks Philip. I had wondered if Warburg might roll the TCM IRs over again.
Ironical that Telecom was desperate to avoid being an income stock and now
they're 'in danger' of that again.
Makes one think of Warren Buffett's analysis that its a waste of time
investing
in new technology stocks because when he researched what had happened with
planes
cars, electricity etc large amounts of capital had had to be invested
before
the return stage was reached at which point new entrants had flooded the 
market and the overall new technology wave situation was that investors had
made a loss. 

cheers,
Hugh
