Grow 5x in 30 years? Include dividend or not? I would say it is not impossible, but quite tough.
100lots he is referring to 100,000shares or 10,000 shares ?
If 100,000 shares i can quite confirmed we can be a millionaire by that time including dividends collected. If 10,000 i will say hard lol.
Growth is there but look at this few years growth for ytlpower is really slow i can say. Unless there are few more enron case like 2002 which they
can acquire cheap asset.
But if you really observe YTLP past performance you can see that current EPS has gained more than 100% after 2002. EPS before 2002 is around 8 cents only, but after acquisition of Wessex water its earning per share has been growing to around 20 cents Year to date. If this trends continue of course the growth rate is high. But so far i can say the acquisition of power seraya will not bring in such growth rate to the company compare with WW.
I am afraid we might not see that type of growth rate in future for YTLP anymore as the ENRON case is really rare and if similar opportunity happen again we also not sure YTLP manage to grab it or not

.
One more thing is during 2002 YTLPOWER is quite small size compare to now with market capitalization of around 12 billion. So any new acquisition will not be so significant compare to 2002.
In conclusion, YTLP is definitely worth to be keep for dividend and potential growth. But we cannot solely depends on HIM.
Correct me if i am wrong
