How much have you lost on shares in the last 3 days?

Well Done Jet.

I'd by more if I wasn't skint.

MBL - I must look at that - don't have it yet.

All depends on the Dow tonite.... :(
 
correct realist,
looking back on charts was 5318 with a high of 5352 the previous day.

ASX 200 is showing 116 down with all ords 110 down

ouch!! ahh well, I know your attitude is that your in for the long haul and your only giving back profit anyway justjohn. you will make it back!
plus if others here knew what you bought BHP for they would fall over, stuff this $26 mark ;) ;)

your still up 10% in half a year which isn't all that bad and its above your goal, sucks to have lost money and I've lost plenty these last few weeks down about 1.5% just today but greed breeds stupidity, plan for your goal whatever you get above of that is a bonus.

P.S. 15% a year is a very good return and means you'll double your money about every 5 years. If you could do that for the next thrity years your stack would be worth over 7 million without putting any new capital in. Now wouldn't we all like that to happen

Sure is depressing, seeing some of your hard earnt money slowly eroding away...

i am now 18% down...... But hopefully it'll be better in the long term.. The

market looking like a pretty nasty correction. :banghead:

Hypnotic
 
If the market is still around the 4800 mark (and a little more stable) then I'll buy a heap of BHP & possibly ZFX.

besides that I'm keeping what I have in cash right now and just holding on with the rest of it!
 
So who thinks it will bounce back tomorrow? The news in other markets at the moment don't point to a recovery :/
 
Today was the biggest one day fall since 911.

The amazing thing to me is the resource stocks without a resource or a profit are still not getting hammered. Surely that is to come?

Why have the spec stocks not been smashed more yet?

As for the Bluechips - CBA, Wollies, Fosters, Westfield, IAG, BHP - they are making large profits. The yield alone is worth holding them over cash surely?
 
Just another winning day for me....sold 1500 RIO (CFDs)at 9.00 and bought back at close........Having a blast......realy gotta go on holiday with profits but am loving this volitility too much!

Where are all the other day traders.....not posting....must be on holiday already, thinking it was all over.

The reason the smaller resource stocks arent plummeting could be that mums and dad bluechip investors have had enough and are selling off, shorters (like me) are bringing it all down even more, and we prefer the top 20 to play with.

I dont use any technical analysis except for gut feeling and a rudimentary knowledge of what has happened over the years and happens during the day, and surf the net for information on the general state of things.....how hard is that? and I,m up 500% in the last 5 weeks.

I recon BHP will hit $23 before a recovery hits, and RIO, $65

Good luck fellas.

Bluechips are always the first to be way overvalued during a bull rush so I guess they are the first to get smashed. :)
