TOL - Toll Holdings

Did anyone see Paul Little (CEO) featured on the 7.30 Report this evening?
It was a segment on the massive payouts to executives in direct contradiction of shareholder voting, and in the face of the large drop in share prices.

Mr Little displayed an arrogance and dismissiveness that I've not seen before.

Will never buy shares in TOL after that little exhibition, regardless of what the SP does, ever.
 
Yes I did Julia....and I concur with your views...not a good look!
Little obviously feels very secure.Pride cometh before the fall !

Yes julia i noticed it with great interest mr littles arrogance about his enormous pay...he is well known in the transport industry for this behaviour...

sitting behind a toll trailer coming home from brissie last month someone had scribbled on the back...
toll driver care factor 0%

however ill give him this,hes turned toll from an initial investment of $1.5m to around a $4.3b transport monster & there will be more toll takeovers in the coming months...tb
 
Wow,

I cant believe this stock hasn't had any entries since Dec 2008.

Any way, I entered this stock at $6.60, after it broke above $6.50. (I got in a little late because I was away from the computer - I really should look at utilising limit orders). It also set a higher low at approx $6.80-$6.90 confirming the uptrend.

The min price target for me is its previous high, between $7.50-$7.60, however should the market maintain this momentum I dont see any reason for it not to set a higher high.

The current price is $6.97 approx. and I have moved my stops up accordingly. I will prob tighten my stops up a bit over the next day or two incase the market decides to reverse a bid.

Any other views on this stock?

I bought some for my neices a few days ago.

Part of my Model Portfolio compliments of Lonsec.

Very long term hold for me.

Something to borrow off.

I also have this in my long term portfolio, but saw the opportunity to trade it with my CFD account, It just hit $7.01 which is a good sign. My only concern s/t is a pull back in the general market.

Yes, I agree, there is probably a decent pullback in the wind.

Back down to 1500 by some EW accounts.

I have bought half what I wanted as part of the long term 'balanced' portfolio, and will buy the other half once the XAO goes down to 1500, or whatever.

1500 by some EW accounts.:eek::eek::eek:Ouch, I hope not, mid to low 3000 would do for me.

That would be some drop

The EW crowd will have you believe that we are still in a W4 correction with the W3 terminating at the previous low around 3100. Various projections of the W5 take us back to 2800 to 1500. EW will be proven BUNK imo if we continue higher from above 3500. Of course EW will be able to explain this with an alternate count. They will renumber the last 12 months of 12345's ABC's to fit into the new chart. Or, maybe they get it right, and we go to 6 year lows in the next few months. EW is on the line. Actually, no it's not, because they will change the count and be right no matter what.
 
Excellent profit report today. Net Profit $270mn. EPS (excluding one-off items) 49.5c. Trading at $8.00. EPS = 18.7 on earnings expected to grow significantly. Forward EPS (estimate) offers value.

I bought some more today.
 
Yes, I have been in for a few weeks and very happy. This is in the Lonsec 'Model Portfolio' as a long term investment, and since I see a potential long term bottom I am holding. Any major company cashed up right now should emerge from the wreckage in very good shape. Time is a question. Did we see a bottom? Or, another one down the track? Many questions still on how this will pan out.
 
seems like they are back to buying up companies with the slush fund they have put aside - now one lesson i have read is not to listen to media stories when deciding if to buy, but it does seem Toll are continuing to go places, worth jumping on long term? what are peoples opinions?

Good time to buy acquisitions, probably some cheap deals around with the current state of the freight industry in general so could be good in 2 years time when it starts to bounce back.

i do not hold at the moment.
 
nice jump today, :) have seen the expansion plans are going well, cant find the link to the article.

anybody else hold these? potential?

I hold,

I have only had a quick look at the report and so far, but can't see what has cause this drop other than their profit is down ( which is expected in this economy)

Probally a buying opportunity if anything.

It will be interesting to see what happens tomorow,

I've never held TOL, but agree that this represents a good buying opportunity to acquire a well managed company.

LEI and WOR took a similar dive recently. I didn't consider selling either.
 
I don't hold TOL either but will be trying to find the time today to do some reading up on them.

Instinct tell me that this might be a market over-reaction and an opportunity to take a position in an industry leader.

:cool:
 
TOL up 6.3% today on no news. Very much doubt the reserve banks decision to hold interest rates has anything to do with it. Checked other transport stocks; some up some down. Anybody got any theories?
