If you would believe this article from the SMH, Nathan Tinkler has tried to sell off everything at Patinack Farm and was told it was grossly overpriced. Now there is speculation in regard to the upcoming HIT Sale on the Gold Coast.

    Interesting article, especially if Harvey has given him 20 mill up front.

     

    Don't like his loud mouth, brash up front style.

    Not sure about that.
    He's just looking to free up some cash for further company aquisitions.
    Makes sense to dispose of "assets" that aren't making money to buy ones that have the potential to be highly profitable.
    If his business play/s come off, he could then increase his racing empire far more than what it is now.

    That is wishful thinking Funk.

    If I was him I'd just bank the 800 mill and kick back!

    Think he is just trying to pay his bills read somewhere that horse were costing him $500000 a week which I find hard to believe looks like he has major cash flow problems.

    Mailman you are very close to the truth there. Being Perth based with two extended family members being long time mining people, I can tell you that the whispers are starting about selling up those shares and getting cashed up, as the good times are looking a bit lean on the horizon.

    In respect to Mr Tinkler, I am sure that along with every other well heeled buyer in the land, that ultimately the decision to purchase, or even to start looking for a horse, starts and ends with him. I know I can't make or force any of my clients to buy a certain animal just because I insist on it. He probably needs better advice, as his stock don't seem to produce the results in line with his investment, and it makes me think that he hasn't got a clue about horses. But he is just the latest in a long line of guys who thought they knew the ins and outs of a ducks nuts, but in reality knew two fifth's of two thirds of nothing.

    Talk of $20M for All Too Hard was the most solid indicator to me that he was desperate for cash. Also indicated that they haven't quite got an understanding of value.

    I like the bloke, he is self made and if he has something to say he does just that, he has been through a ton of trainers and stud managers, but has the money to change his mind who he uses and employs. He puts his money where his mouth is, just has a bigger mouth and wallet then most!

    As for mining trust me... it has years and years to go. Two of the big companies are currently duplicating rail lines and juniors are doing figures on building their own......China may slow down but within 5 years India will be our biggest buyer of Iron Ore.

    Rio has a massive chain of projects to come online, Shell's Prelude project, Inpex's Icthys, Chevron's Wheatstone & Gorgon Expansion, Gina's Roy Hill, to name but a few multi billion dollar projects in the pipeline. The only thing holding them back is lack of labour resources. WA is set to become the biggest LNG producer in the world.
    Browse will go on the backburner as several of the JV partners have other big projects of their own to bring online. They'll use the enviro protests as an excuse to defer FID.
    Word is that BHP are paring back their expansion plans and culling 100's of people from there iron ore expandsion projects, but that is because Marius & co made some very bad investment decisions in shale oil and BHP tend to be ruthless & focus on near term returns for investors.
    The only reason mining may slow down is that they can't compete with the oil & gas industry for attracting the labour.

    When are they going to clear the Safa's out of BHP? making mistakes like that should spell the end but no they are survivors and very much promote their own....
    Labor shortage to me is an excuse not to pay top rates may only affect Roy Hill they can get labor from over east if need be plenty of blokes in Melbourne ans Sydney who would fifo to pilbara. But you are right Funky still a few years to run yet will be interesting to see what happens 2016.
    As for Tinkler when he sells All Too Hard you will know he is running real short.

    the future of the mining industry is like predicting the lotto numbers.. no one can! minesites are discovering new pits to mine for ore a dime a dozen aswell as the guys underground finding high grade nickel in the walls all the time which means the contracts and jobs are far from over!! so all you oldies out there just take a step back and relax, no need to get your apple pickers in a knot.

    Tinkler has a track record in the mining game of being ahead of the curve. He is chasing money to make his biggest bet ever in coal. I for one hope he is right. The more money made in the mining industry the better off the racing industry.

    I met a Chinese Engineer in the carpark at Belmont on Saturday, he had never been to a race meeting and had some questions about Racing in general. So as we chatted I asked about the so called boom coming to an end and the scaling back of China in the market. He said FMG would announce shortly some cutbacks, well it didn't take long....

    i'd suggest that those in that industry...not worry too much..it is only the growth that is being delayed ......China's population grows by more than Austrtalia's total population every year....They cant put development on hold forever!!!!

    Pretty sure a Chinese company was allowed to buy a mine in aus....that isn't goin to help the iron ore sales much...Hope they got a lot for it!

    FMG are a lot more susceptible to lower iron ore prices than the big boys as their production costs per tonne are higher and the quality of there ore is lower than BHP's let alone Rio's.
    Anyone who wants to invest in something where you can get a far better return than a racehorse or gambling, have a look at Atlas Iron; its shares have been massively oversold, they have bugger all debts and good quality and quantity of ore reserves
