Nav at R7 and the trees are going nowhere and getting bigger every day. One day the world will have another property boom, commodities will again be the rage and as the Rand will weaken forever York will sooner or later again make a lot of sense. One day...maybe in ten or so years... but it will happen

For me the risk is not to have/watch York. In the years leading up to 2008 crash the price showed massive growth. Buying in 2001 at a 100c and selling in 2007 at 3000c would have shown growth of 3000% over a 7 to 8 years period. R1 became R30. And yes, the risk then was the same as the risk now.

Completely different company - different scale and no leverage. Thae had 9.9m shares in issue - so you can't look at the "then" vs "now" share price. On an adjusted basis - that would put the current company's R2,20 level at an equivalent "then" price of R75 a share...

Look at MASONITE - with a nice looking balance sheet and heavyweight owners. YORK WILL go in too!
