Thanks David and MacDunk. WRI - Only 80k of WRI moved today, with a buyer still in the market for 225k@NZD1.45 - not a lot of dealing going on at that price level. It does not seem unlikely that RPI are using more than one broker to accumulate and the limit is identical so I suspect that it is RPI rather than another buyer. WRI has recently been developing further as a business with changes in management, involvement with Genesis, Agri-feeds and Eurogrow Potatoes growth, etc. It does appear that the market would price WRI higher were it not for the high dollar - perhaps the mitigation of this risk via hedging has come into play here? Also, even with earnings under pressure, dividend yield is not looking too shabby at $1.45. MacDunk what fundamentals, apart from the currency issue, are you referring to - your concluding comment sounds like you have a (virtual) quid both ways ... would you buy in if the price dropped and if so how far would it have to come down? David it looks like you might have been buying at $1.45? On the basis of dividend or a combination of factors? RBD - Vicki Salmon now CEO. The spin indicates that there is currently not much interest in running this company amongst those with the skills to give it the boost it needs. How do RBD holders feel about this announcement and what it means for the future of the business?
