VRL - Village Roadshow

Re: VRL / VRLPA

VRLPA has historically always traded consistently lower than VRL.

Why has this relationship changed recently? Insights would be appreciated.

The market has re-priced VRLPA :dunno: VRLPA has always paid significantly higher dividends too and perhaps now that there is some confidence about VRL in general..the slightly more risky preference shares are not seen to be as risky as before.

VRL's been holding above 2.25 which is a good sign breaking new highs as I speak. I think they will eventually try to privitise again, well I hope this will be the case.

N.T

I totally sold out of VRL today @ $2.30 for a total pre tax profit (including dividends and less costs) of about 190% approx....easily my biggest % and $ winner....VRL was the first trade i entered with my new trading plan and its the first stock that has come full cycle.

I took a small profit early on to establish free carry, reduce exposure/risk and free up capital to buy another stock, and then simply let the general market rally off the low take the SP back up...and collected dividends along the way.

I recycled the VRL money, plus a little extra into TSI figuring the yield on offer (13.4%) combined with the entry on offer due to general sentiment over the last few months, as an ideal time to buy yet another quality bottom.

Good luck to the holders.

Congratulations on the profit. Hopefully you had a fair amount invested in the free carry. I simply bought with cash and held, 90% ROI so far. I will be holding longer though, with the perpetual buybacks EPS just keeps rising!

I bought TSI on your recommendation. Another VRL would be nice.

Right now I am waiting for the OAK capital raising to come, I love capital raisings.

Hey Dan.. good to see im not the only one that's done well outa VRL i agree that there's more upside to come, for myself i just felt it was time to recycle my capital, thought that the TSI low just wouldn't last so was keen to switch over...so far that thinking has proved to be correct.

Dan i have to say that i would hate to think that anyone did anything on my recommendation or acted on my posts/actions..i post all my buys and sells here for entertainment purposes only, i would never encourage anyone to act on anything i post or take anything i say as advice.

Don't worry about it. I need somewhere to put my money, and your pick is probably better than mine, since you picked VRL for a reason...I was just lucky. If I lose on TSI I will be fine, and if I profit I'll be happy.

I did read their annual report btw, I didn't buy solely on your recommendation.

What do you mean by this.

VRLPA is the preferred stock. is this changing?

 

[ParleVouFrancois]

He means preferred as in rated "buy please" by "naos" asset fund manager, Sebastian Evans, whoever they are. I doubt he's actually talking about the preferred stock.

It feels like every day we come closer to privatization. $3.23 now with less shares on issue, less assets and far less debt. I am waiting for more big changes to occur.

I can no longer guess at the return I'll get from this share, but I'm assuming it'll be posisive if/when it's privatized.

I see further easy gains in this share. As the shares on offer reduce, my % holding increases. Privatizing should also see a premium to the trading price, right?

I would love to spend this cash elsewhere, but VRL seems too good of an opportunity to pass up.

Long time between drinks....

 

[ft2tak]

there are no news on VRL. What's making it go this high?

 

[rbgmauq]

Looks like it is going to break the resistance of 6.24. Positive technical buying signal at au.stoxline website.

 

[ft2tak]

There is lots of money going in at $6.15. Great sign of support.

 

[ft2tak]

With Vegas, Sydney and at the end of the year China water parks opening, we should see even higher prices

Ah those were the days

7 years later and VRL is looking cheap again, over the years the business hasn't changed much, they have bough and sold a few things but mostly same same, revenue is growing very slowly while debt has doubled over the last 5 years, Top 20 still hold over 80% with the Brothers Kirby and Burke substantial holders.

Share price getting hit by the Theme park downturn, div should/could be cut, still a solid business with multiple revenue streams thats been around for ever, a long term yield play for the contrarian minded.

Had a couple of good days as it reports. Udonno maybe people think they are going to get a bonanza from suing google. -

Village Roadshow co-chief executive Graham Burke has slammed Google for "facilitating crime" by allowing piracy, saying the multibillion-dollar company is welcome to sue him for his comments.

Mr Burke believes Google is partly responsible for hundreds of thousands of illegal downloads of the films Lion and Mad Max: Fury Road causing "millions of dollars lost to piracy".

"If piracy isn't nailed ... the Australian film industry will be over," he said.
Lion has been downloaded illegally more than 350,000 times and is likely to have been streamed more than 1 million times, he said. '

People who download it can't be bothered waiting for it to come out on one of the other countless platforms or get off their ass and go see it. Much easier just to do it at home and if they couldn't they still wouldn't go see it. People aren't even going to the Malls anymore to do their shopping.
With all the insane overcrowding and overbuilding in the livable cities, why would the f&ck would anyone go out it's a nightmare out there!

Maybe he's just trying to keep his salary by making lame excuses.

Note final market sale was ramped to 3.56 and it matched out at 3.39. What will it do at the open, one wonders!!

 

[notting]

A couple of months later as expected.
At this rate you have to go back to a monthly chart to see where the blood may stop flowing.
It indicates about .90c

 

[Redbeard]

To beat the download/streams you have to learn chinese/thai/viet, thats where all the full movies are on youtube.
Aside from that, is it correct VRL have not paid a dividend in the last two years? at least thats what my OLbroker data is saying. And if so why is anyone holding onto them?
