F'rinstance Jeanette...really good of her to push the insulation scheme for us and it did her Pink Batts shares no harm at all eh?
So you don't like anyone in parliament then? I assume you don't vote?

And Pink Batts are a product of Fletcher Insulation, which is a subsidiary of Fletcher Construction, and they're a sound, well run and profitable company that has always performed well on the sharemarket - I have some and have done for many years and I don't recall the home insulation scheme making an appreciable difference.

You claim to be a bit of a switched on investor - your understanding of even simple facts about the NZX seems rather poor. You wouldn't be making yourself something you're not would you?
