I actually didn't pick this stock up sooner, but in any respect Vector Energy in NZ has staged a break out, then fallen back to support (consolidating the move), and is now in an uptrend. This is of course a stock you could buy. I prefer the hydropower exposure, however the chart looks good. The reality is that all power companies in NZ are never going to have their precious margins questioned. The idea that NZ is a deregulated market is not in question. What is apparent is the uncompetitive market stucture which was put in place to guarantee NZ's paid taxes in the form of higher electricity prices, as opposed to taxes. All their profits when to investment bankers. Its a great scam if you get your share of the pie. I might add, Victoria (Australia) ran the same scam when they privatised their electricity assets. In the meantime, CEOs are giving themselves huge bonuses. Before they were accountable to the government....now....oh its the market....pricing signals...supply and demand :(Andrew Sheldon www.sheldonthinks.com
