["Barry and Kim VanderHaven" <troyvdh@ihug.co.nz>]

Dear chatters, could someone please provide any rational as to why one would buy, let alone hold Tel.I should state that I have an inherent distrust of brokers et al and tend to look at "the big picture", i.e. Oz and us.On many occasions I have been tempted to buy ( after scaning numerous items stating that "its an ideal time ", only to find that then it went lower !.).I do hold TLS long term, and given that "they' are still deliberating wether or not to totally privatise et al I am of the opinion that "we aint got no chance ,even with AAPT, to make any meaningful dosh".A very basic summary you thinks ?But heh, does history  indicate that N.Z. companies flourish over the ditch ?
