Hi Graeme,

This article in the Herald would not have helped Frucor's share price
today -

"Coca-Cola is about to launch a second attack on the wildly popular energy
drinks market with a beverage buzz designed for the nightclub scene..."

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/storydisplay.cfm?storyID=157780&thesection=busines
s&thesubsection=

I personally think it's a knee-jerk reaction - V is a mass-market energy
drink, while "Burn", Coke's new product, is more aimed at nightclubs (where
Red Bull is the dominant player).

The article does briefly mention the fact that V has been losing some market
share to Coca-Cola's "Lift Plus" but gives no figures.

And does it matter anyway?  Remember, the UK and Ireland is were the real
potential market for V lies....

Best Regards

Benjamin Dutton

Nick, I know you're a fan of Trucor. Any idea why it's dropped from $2-40
odd to today's $1-85?  Heard any negative rumours? Thanks G.
