Not sure there will be much more information in the AGM, the main purpose of the AGM is to present the past financial year's results.
I know what the announcement said, I was expressing my opinion about what will actually revealed and when, sorry if it wasnt clear I was presenting my point of view.
I just wanted to make sure you read the line about further update at AGM - it was hiding at the end of slide 23.
Thanks, I had read it. I remain skeptical about the likelihood of there being any meaningful information to present in such a short time. As I said I reckon it will be the half yearly report before we see much real guidance.
My perspective is that a de-rating of the earnings multiple because of legislative risk being at the forefront of people’s mind is a good thing. But if revenue is impacted long term by the uncertainty – that’s a whole different ball game. I suspect uncertainty actually plays out as employees being keener to stitch up the benefits for fear of missing out, however there may be more reluctance on the part of employers to go to the trouble of putting salary sacrifice programs in place because of the uncertainty.
I think suggesting someone has a plan is as nice as you can get.
I'd be planning to go short/sell with a stop around 14.
If they don’t say anything – that will say a lot.
In the phone hook up indication was given that the final dividend would be considered at the next board meeting now the election is out of the way and I suspect announced at the AGM also if they decide to pay one – Action on cash also talks loud.
We know (and they know) we are going to get numbers on paper at the half yearly. Doubt that we will be in total suspense as to what they are going to be by the time they are delivered.
It may be that customer confidence in novated leases has to be rebuilt or it may be there is pent up demand from over the period in which case revenue catch up will be much easier. We already know expenses haven’t been trimmed much – they even paid average commission over the nil revenue time. So people should be expecting revenue shortfall to flow straight to the bottom line. Whether there is 8-9-10-11 months of trend revenue in the FY14 year is really quite insignificant to a long term holder, the reason is known and one off. Shorter term holders may be less relaxed about the outcome.
How FY15 is shaping up against the long term trend is more important – Has the legislative uncertainty impacted permanently their customer buying decisions and hence the revenue stream?

The MMS report did indicate the following "Employers who have shut programs down (minority but some large companies) need to agree to restart"
I would imagine, given how popular such packaging has been with employees in the past, that there would be considerable pressure applied to once again offer this packing option for the "minority" of employers who have removed vehicle lease salary packaging. The "uncertainty" factor around the legislation seems misplaced with the probablility of a 2 term Liberal government high - that's 6 years of certainty IMO.
Much discussion.
So from your view point would you...
(1) Hold if you had bought at $13 and above?
Only if one planned to hold at least 6 months. This really depends on why the stock was purchased to begin with.
(2) Sell and look for a re entry at a better price?
If you purchased MMS to flip it for a quick profit, that opportunity is gone. If sitting on a large profit, the prospects look very encouraging, hold. Expecting sideways drift from here until another trading update from MMS at the AGM.
(3) Buy more on any pull back?
Depends on magnitude. Oversold is anything under $11 IMO.
(4) Sell and look for a better prospect.
And what would that be?
(5) Other.---What?
MMS is no longer a short term trading opportunity except perhaps after a large pullback.
One clear plan.

N/AMuch discussion.

As background - my last purchase was 1/10/08 average holding cost is low $2. It has repaid itself and more in dividends and I have sold some down at higher prices because of portfolio diversity rules.
Not the Investment holding – did put in place arrangements to hedge if necessary. Only utilised in in separate account to facilitate short trades Never finished up hedging in account where MMS investment sits.(2) Sell and look for a re entry at a better price?
Yep if the price is right and fits within portfolio exposure rules.(3) Buy more on any pull back?
Always evaluating that as an opportunity.(4) Sell and look for a better prospect.

To Buy at under $9 you'd have had to have bought it before Gillard announced the election date.

above $13 for me would only be a trading entry and I haven’t discussed any of my trading in MMS here and won’t because of the existence of some who are self proclaimed guru’s that I have no respect for, not to mention differing experience on what works.
been pretty much all down hill since the election and presentation of annual results. Perhaps it was over bid? or investors arent liking the uncertainty regarding the future of MMS
