GMI: Business as Usual after Sale to Kiwibank
Last Wednesday (18 Jan) Gareth announced the sale of Gareth Morgan Investments (GMI) to Kiwibank. The change of ownership takes effect from 1 April 2012.
However, it will be business as usual for our clients and members.
On the day of the announcement we published a couple of articles:
Markets: European Recession Effect on NZ
As the gloomy news continues to come from Europe, we are faced with a self–centered question. How will this affect me in New Zealand? We interview Chris Worthington about what the predicted recession in Europe as a result of the Eurocrisis could mean for New Zealanders. Watch interview.
Investment: Facebook – the Coolest Stock on the Block?
In case you hadn't heard, one of the most anticipated floats in recent history is likely to come to market this year. And no, it's not Mighty River Power. Facebook, already the stuff of Hollywood movies, is gearing up for an initial public offering (IPO) that will add a new chapter to the social network's story. Read article here.
Conservation: Our Far South Crew Set Sail
The Spirit of Enderby is setting sail from Bluff on 10 February with the Our Far South crew on board. Excitement levels are high as the departure date gets closer. Gareth and Geoff wrote a series of articles about some of the issues this region is facing:
-
Our Far South – Where a Race for Resources is Well Underway
-
High Risk Shift in Vital Chiller Ocean
-
Changing Times in Frozen South
There will be a lot happening on the boat and you can stay up to date through our Facebook page, Twitter account, or website.
Fisheries: Hook, Line and Blinkers
Shouldn't sustainable fishing really be up to the people pulling fish from the ocean? Gareth and Geoff argue that consumers need to play a role also; to keep up the pressure to improve. How do we really know if the fish we are eating is from a sustainable fishery? Read the full article.
