[sharechat] re : Air NZ - 'Patriotic' or 'Pathetic' Mum and Dad Investors - Tony Haddon
I actually made money from shorting Air NZ shares thru' my broker so no
'sour' grapes here.
My comments really relate to the unbelievably naive, foolish and
greed-driven actions/comments by some of the punters out there rushing to
buy Air NZ shares after Helen Clark's comments - 'we are buying to show
support for our national airline etc'. The truth is that most bought
because they wanted to be on the 'greed' bandwagon - oblivious to what Air
NZ was worth. There was a comment by one 'investor' on TV that 'the shares
were $2.00 plus before so although I am paying 40 cents, it is still very
cheap!' I wonder if she still thinks it is cheap as it has just got cheaper.
