Yes, but 'wanting' an improved performance is no guarantee that it 
will happen

Not necessarily.  If you are an index fund, or an Airport 
Infrastructure fund, for instance, you may very well be buying a 
business because it is there, and a certain size.  There is no 
presumption the investment will increase in value.

You have seen the forecasts for 8 years into the future?  At any 
given time a share price is reflecting conditions 2 to 5 years 
into the future.  What 'fundamentals' are you talking about?

Your comments seem to indicate that because the share price has 
doubled in the last three years it will do so again.  Extrapolation 
like that is not a valid forecasting technique.  The brunt of the 
September 11th air route contraction seems to have been borne by 
Christchurch.  Why do you think that as air travel increases again, 
most of that increase won't come through Christchurch?

You are arrogant to assume there is no competition.  There is
Hamilton International Airport just down the road  (think Gatwick vs 
Heathrow).  Tourists can come and go through Christchurch.  AIA is 
certainly in a strong position, - but no competition?  SNOOPY
