THE LONG AND THE SHORT OF IT: FMA rising, Vista on cloud-9, currency ructions and 2 Cheap Cars
Paul McBeth and Oliver Mander opine on marketland.
The Bottom Line’s Paul McBeth and New Zealand Shareholders’ Association chief executive Oliver Mander return with The Long and the Short of It, where they discuss the latest goings-on in marketland.
Oliver applauds commerce minister Cameron Brewer’s appointment of James Miller as chair of the Financial Markets Authority and Trevor Janes to the regulator’s board, and reflects on how it should help stabilise a leadership crisis at the market watchdog.
Vista Group International’s success in converting customers to its cloud services, while the Japanese and US intervention in currency markets will give investors and exporters something to think about.
And David Sena’s takeover bid for the 24% of 2 Cheap Cars that he doesn’t own might just need a second look.
Paul reaches for Japanese finance minister Satsuki Katayama’s name but comes up short.
